This is the first novel of Wongar's "nuclear trilogy", and it is based on the countless aborginal deaths that resulted from the cancer and radiation poisoning caused by the ten years of secret nuclear tests that the British conducted in Australia in the 1950s and 60s. Wongar uses these tests as the starting point for a powerful and startling series of novels about the destruction of a culture and a land, that, both independently and together, constitute a lacerating indictment of a "civilization" that uses technology to commit genocide.
