In the tradition of such thrillers as Mad Max and The Road Warrior, Paul Kidd has delivered a novel that will remind readers why no one does post-apocalypse like the Australians.
Between a desert and a dried-up sea lies the town of Watering Hole, the only oasis for miles and the home of our intrepid heroes Shaani and Xoota. After some rather harrowing adventure in the desert, they are followed home by a swarm of empathetic earwigs. As if a psychic bug infestation weren’t enough, the town water supply has suddenly died up. Where there was once fresh water to spare, there is only dribble of brackish water. When Shaani investigates well, she discovers that the water supply never came from local ground water at all. Instead, it turns out their water had come from long forgotten underground pipes. Theorizing that the water came from a source beyond the desert, she proposes an expedition to re-establish the town’s water supply. Xoota, of course, is voted to go with her. |
