AbstractHistoryArchive Description

It started out as a typical western morning, quiet, with the galvanised iron roof of the old Four Hills station homestead already crackling and stretching under the sun's rays. But for John Stanley-Harris all semblance of normality ended when the radio suddenly died in a roar of static; when the first survivors of the nuclear attack which had obliterated Australia's cities and suburbs began arriving at the homestead. And in their wake, pushing through the dusty red plains, came the invaders ... the Armada of the South East Asian Republic.
