BACK OF SUNSET

by Jon Cleary ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

With his fifth novel, Jon Cleary returns again to the Australian setting he knows so intimately, placing his tale this time in the bush country and using the Royal Doctor Flying Service as his gimmick. Dr. Stephen McCabe was the son of a man whose main goal was geared to that role of dedicated service- and who had had to give it up. But Steve was a city doctor, engaged to a girl who wanted to see him a Harley Street specialist -- and enrollment in this wilderness mission was farthest from his thoughts. How circumstances forced his hand; how he took over-for a few weeks- the place of the one and only doctor in an isolated medical post; and how the challenge, the unpredictability, the immense appeal of the people and their need -- and the love of a strange girl, who had her own code of dedication, combined to change his career- makes an absorbing adventure story in a unique setting.
