On the Wallaby by Charles Barrett Charles Sturt in an attempt to delay

in an attempt to delay an attack on India

and the rain forests and tall timber of the coastal plains

working with transference and fantasy

But Thirlbeck broods on other secrets - ancient scandals and curses whose existence has haunted a noble birthright through the centuries

half-Irish friend Stephen Maturin
