Local Description

Reprint. A very good copy.

Description

Wafer, who saw his father blown apart by a bomb in the second world war, and who grew up under the shadow of the nuclear bomb, seeks to spend his middle years in a place of solitude where he can prepare for the inevitable... Allbut, scarcely a dot on the map in the vast Queensland outback, seems to be the perfect place. But Wafer's peace-loving ways are not understood by the clean and decent locals and when it comes, the final blast is not the one he expected.
