Publisher's Summary

What should have been a quick gig on a radio station followed by a white-water rafting holiday in Cairns finishes up a mud-soaked four-wheel drive trip to Cooktown with Norton looking for two missing scuba divers. The army, the air force and half the Queensland water police couldn't find the two missing divers - so what chance does Les have?

Along the way Les bumps into a kooky little space cadet who spends her time chasing UFOs and predicting the future, man-eating crocodiles, heat and humidity, and strangers everywhere out for his blood. Then, in a place of indescribable beauty, Norton uncovers unimaginable terror.

Editorial reviews

Les Norton is a likeable, rough-and-tumble bloke who definitely enjoys his tumbles and an occasional bit of rough. With narrator Dino Marnika's smooth, effortless performance, Le's adventures unspools like an epic narrative as he makes plans to go on a whitewater rafting holiday after a quick gig on a radio station. But, as usual, his plans go awry and he ends up going on a four-wheel drive to Cooktown to look for a pair of missing scuba divers, bumping into a UFO-chasing space cadet, man-eating crocodiles, and strangers out for his blood along the way. Marnika narrates Les' adventures with straight-faced affability that underscores their amusing tall-tale quality.

Horrible quality

The new narrator butchering the characters' voices aside, the recording is woeful.
Sounded like it was recorded in a wind tunnel, and some sentences were abruptly cut mid word.
