Rain Never Came
Rain Never Came | Lachlan Walter
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
In a thirsty, drought-stricken Australia, the country is well and truly sunburnt. As the Eastern states are evacuated to more appealing climates, a stubborn few resist the forced removal. They hide out in small country towns - somewhere no one would ever bother looking.Bill Cook and Tobe Cousins are united in their disregard of the law. Aussie larrikins, they pass their hot, monotonous existence drinking at the barely standing pub. When strange lights appear across the Western sky, it seems that those embittered by the drought are seeking revenge. And Bill and Tobe are in their path. In the heat of the moment secrets will be revealed, and survival can't be guaranteed.

This is a story full of the rich humour peculiar to Australians. It‘s a tale of contrasts. Happiness and sadness, beauty and harshness, levity and seriousness. While this is a dystopia, it isn't like most I've read. Much nvolved surviving in an inhospitable environment. Descriptions in Rain were first-rate. I greatly enjoyed how Walter‘s culture came through, not just with colloquial language, but its essence also. 4*

Just started this. 😄 Pretty good so far. This pic pretty well sums up what the landscape looks like for me. This is ghostly Goldfield.
