Produktbeschreibung

Lin has her life laid out-college, career, husband, child, an apartment in Shanghai-neat, complete and predictable. That is until she finds herself in ancient Australia leading a messy mob of endangered animals on a touch-and-go trek to safety. For help she has a large, incontinent wombat, a smart bandicoot, a ravenous kangaroo, four fierce, fighting birds and Arben, a young man whose spirit and savvy upend Lin's ideas about love, life and sacrifice.

'Smart, lively and entertaining. An extraordinary story - part romance, part adventure - the student heroine gets sucked through a space portal to find herself out of her comfort zone and well out of smartphone range in a world of mega-marsupials, some of which want to kill her while others need her help. She survives through resources of toughness, bravery and imagination she never knew she had - and the help of a young man who steals her heart.' - Julie Postance, author of Breaking the Sound Barriers

'Exciting, engrossing and unique. Many Australian stories 'go bush', and this one does too; but don't go looking for squatters or sheep here. The young heroine is dumped into the Aussie bush soon after the arrival of the first people. She finds herself shepherding a herd of larger-than-life creatures toward a mysterious place while fending off unimaginable enemies the like of which she's never seen.' - Amanda J Spedding, two-time Australian Shadows Award winner

Autorenporträt

Robb Mason grew up in Australia listening to radio adventures and reading 'The Magic Pudding', Marvel comics, Henry Lawson, Jules Verne, Tarzan, state school readers, and anything they'd let him borrow from the local library. He read 'Lord of the Rings' when he should have been studying, which accounts for his lousy high school results and a fascination with trek and quest novels. Robb has variously been a lecturer, writer, teacher, personnel manager, scholar, labourer, and bulldozer salesman. He has lived in North America, taught English in China, loves 'Star Wars' and shares a house in Melbourne where he follows 'the footy', enjoys cooking, tries to control two cats and maintains a tea addiction. 'Queen of the North Forest' is his first novel. He hopes it won't be his last.
