AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Ian Crabtree is determined to show the world he too can be up there with the winners; he goes walkabout to seek his fortune. His journey takes him from the harsh emptiness of the Northern Territory, through Hong Kong's teeming streets to the wealth and hedonism of the Bahamas. Ian's journey turns out to be one of self-discovery. Can it be a fair exchange to barter ancient Aboriginal values for the suppurating corruption he finds endemic to the pursuit of wealth and power? This question is faced, though rarely satisfactorily answered, by a host of subsidiary characters. The astonishing stories of their lives and deaths are woven skilfully into this tapestry of adventure, romance and intrigue.
