Description
In a future New Zealand where happiness is rationed to those who “ask no questions,” a renegade hero risks everything to rescue his family from a watchful State. Told in a propulsive first-person voice, the novel moves with the momentum of a thriller—reckless escapes, sudden violence, and escalating confrontations that test both body and conscience. At its core, the story is a fierce exploration of identity under pressure, challenging received, hegemonic ideas about what it means to be an individual and a culture. With Albert Wendt’s distinctive early-fiction focus on self-making and resistance, this is a tense, thought-provoking journey through freedom, complicity, and the cost of speaking out.
