Description

A bloodied figure travels through time, a stepfather kicks a ball and curses a snack machine, a cranky ghost brakes a Kapiti train. From a reimagined history to a future where holograms walk the streets, these stories traverse time and genre to explore the frontiers that face the adventurous - now and in the past.

Reviews

Lawrence Patchett is an articulate and philosophical author who creates terrific frontier stories. . . . This is a rugged and haunting collection which has remained in my thoughts months after its first reading. Laurence Fearnley, author, The Hut Builder
