    • Australský spisovatel zobrazuje v románě na základě vlastních zážitků mnohotvárnost a spletitost života nejmladšího kontinentu mezi dvěma světovými válkami. Mladý kanadský námořník, který po neradostném mládí nepoznal nic než život na lodi, zatouží po trvalejších životních hodnotách. Tajně opouští palubu v Melbourne a zůstává v zemi neomezených možností. Sledujeme hrdinova dobrodružství v nezvyklém prostředí, kde vládnou zákony džungle v mezilidských vztazích, jeho milostný vztah k stejně opuštěné dívce a poznáváme různá prostředí jeho profesí, v nichž se snaží uchytit.

      Jeho odvážný postoj v průběhu pokusu o puč v srpnu 1991 ho katapultoval do středu světové pozornosti. Kdo však je tento zemitý, ale tajemný muž, kterého list Washington Post charakterizoval jako politika, který má „elastickou tvář, jež by se dokonale hodila na burleskní scénu ze čtyřicátých let“ a hlas tak dunivý, že „otřásá nádobím“? Je to demokrat, nebo demagog, západník, nebo ruský nacionalista? Na to se snaží autor najít odpověď.
