Described by George Locke as an interesting and at times good eccentric fantasy concerning reincarnation, Atlantis, and a marginal lost race, God in the Sand's begins with a 1930s expedition into the heart of Australia by two prospectors. There they discover Luma, a young woman of Peruvian/English birth who claims to have survived the attack on Peru by 16th century Spanish conquistadors. Her magical, dream-like vision of the past also invites possibilities regarding the first Aboriginal migration to Australia.
