AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In a post-apocalyptic Australian landscape dominated by free-wheeling cyborgs, a young man goes in search of his lost lover who has been kidnapped by a rogue AI truck – the Brumby King.

'Along the way, he teams with Sinnerman, an independent truck with its own reasons for hating the Brumby King.

'Before his final confrontation with the brumbies, he must learn more about the broken-down world and his own place in it, and face his worst fears.

'This genre-bending work of literary biopunk mixes the mad fun of Mad Max II with the idiosyncratic testimony of works like Peter Carey’s True History of the Kelly Gang or Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting.' (Publisher's blurb)
