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.
.
The strange and playful voice of the first-person narrator keeps the story
kicking along as he comes to his final realisation that the only meaning to be
found in a world in slow decay is that which you make for yourself.
.
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.
