Paperback. Condition: Fair. 125 pages. Cover very worn. Text tannedWind and change resist ant, this is another one of Hammond Innes' tenacious adventure st ories where the ignis fatui glints with the promise of the pot of gold. The place this time is Western Australia - unforgiving cou ntry - red dust and sand, abos, roos and ghosts or as the natives call them Qunikans (Mr. Innes never skimps on his background). I t is also the bolt-hole for derelicts, last chancers like Alec Fa lls who tells the story and who comes there looking for a big kil ling, or just desperate men like Ed Garrety who with his daughter Janet barely keep their land or cattle alive. But Ed remembers o ther promises - the Golden Soak (now the scene of new fatalities) , a mine which still holds out hope of gold and antimony, and ano ther (copper - also a killing ground) known as McIlroy's Monster. Tragedy still stalks the terrain and Ed walks deliberately to hi s death in a sandstorm but there will be other, firmer rewards fo r Alec - a new life if not necessarily a richer one. It's all as solid as oak even where the grain shows - you know him, you read him, you enjoy him.
