Publisher's Summary
I love a sunburnt dystopia.
Straya lies in ruins. A once-proud nation, former Australia has regressed into a patchwork civilization cowering under the deadly heat of a merciless sun. Savage violence lurks around every corner. Good pubs, but...
Affable young mutant, Franga, risks life and double-jointed limb to help provide for his makeshift family of mutie kids and increasingly senile friend and mentor, Ken Ages. After finding a strange artifact in the deadly Downlow district, Franga inadvertently starts a horrifying chain reaction.
Something terrifying takes form in New Sydney. A colossal beast rises as unspeakably powerful as it is malevolent, and if Franga and his crew of misfits can’t stop it? Then all of Straya is completely farked.
Set in a futuristic Australia desperately coping with inequality, racism, and the effects of climate change, Straya balances canny social allegory with subversive wit and an oddly optimistic sense of hope.

Pretty grouse and a top read
A fun story of muties and monsters with a surprising amount of heart. This book had some laugh out loud moments and Franga, the main character, becomes completely endearing as the story goes on. With a smack of Tank Girl and a whack of Welcome to Woop Woop, this story is a welcome addition to the Ozploitation bin fire.
No problem recommending this one.

Put this on top of your listening list
“Straya” is a cracking tale, full of gore, mutants, monsters and heart. This listener was engrossed from beginning to end by Anthony O’Connor’s vivid descriptions and Justin Smith’s evocative narration. Do yourself a favour, and out this one on the top of your listening list.
