$23.00 Inc GST
On the Java Ridge, skipper Isi Natoli and a group of Australian surf tourists are anchored off the Indonesian island of Dana. In the Canberra office of Cassius Calvert, Minister for Border Integrity, a federal election looms and a hardline new policy on asylum-seekers is being rolled out.
Not far from Dana, the Takalar is having engine trouble. Among the passengers on board fleeing from persecution are Roya and her mother, and Roya's unborn sister.
The storm now closing in on the Takalar and the Java Ridge will mean catastrophe for them all.
A timely literary political thriller with a cracking narrative and heart-stopping writing.
