'For Garinji the time for payback has come. Since the early seventies when he brought his people's plight to the national and international stage, he has watched as their disadvantage and dispossession has continued without redress. To the world he has become a tame bureaucrat burrowed away in Australia's capital. But he is not the submissive, lapsed radical that he is perceived to be. In his heart of hearts the Kadaitcha spirit burns. The Olympic Games in Sydney in September 2000 provide him the opportunity to right the wrongs.
Using state of the art technology, could Garinji have breached Olympic Games security three years before they are due to be held?
Kadaitcha - a frightening scenario where injustice, revenge and the Sydney Olympics blend in a deadly cocktail.
Kadaitcha - a confronting novel where historical fact blurs with fiction to create a Sydney Olympics nightmare!
The Kadaitcha scenario - could it happen?' (Publisher's blurb)
Notes
Epigraph: What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore - and then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over - like a syrupy sweet?
Or does it explode?
Langston Hughes, 1951
