This book, Inferno 'written by veteran journalist Roger Franklin is a classic blend of action, heartbreak, survival, love, and community. This narrative brings to life individual tales of horror and heroism, recounts the devastation of Kinglake, Marysville and other besieged Victorian towns, and salutes the generosity and unyielding spirit of humanity on the state's darkest day.'
