I'm ready any time you are free to head off onr 🚗 ride in the Australian bush. We're going nowhere in particular and we'll play Bee Gees "You Win Again" on repeat. Care to join me?

How does a major typo remain on page 1: "setting the car among the pigeons"?

I'm bothered by some poor grammar in this book. See: https://ozhamada-observes.blogspot.co...

There is the misfit civilian/military team, mangy polar bears and a frozen wasteland location and yet there is still room for more madness: "Then he fired repeatedly into the door and eventually its glass shattered and the world went completely mad" page 112. Found at a Street Library.

You know you are reading an Australian novel when it includes: "We're working our way through a box of Moselle and a bag of Cheezels"

A crime novel with two highly unlikable protagonists. Found at a Street Library. To a Street Library twas returned.

Some comprehension question I wrote: https://ozhamada-observes.blogspot.co...

I'm not convinced that Peter would so willingly attend the planet without his wife. The couple rightly conclude early in the book that missionary couples complement each other in the field - that the wife invariably detects nuances that the husband misses. Peter would have naturally been more effective along with his wife.

It is not the book for now....I'll return to this later.
