Sharlar: The Quest and the Consequence

Set in the cattle country of Kununurra Station, young Davy MacBride and aboriginal elder, Billy, discover an alien and his spaceship from the planet Vylarn.

Sent to earth to warn humanity that in-vitro fertilisation is killing his race, Sharlar finds a friend in Davy who passes him off as an itinerant traveller seeking work in outback Australia. With help from the local Aboriginal tribe, Davy and his girlfriend Cathy, seek to help Sharlar in his quest with unexpected consequences.

In her first science fiction novel, Denise Kay weaves together murder, intrigue and love in a setting that is as harsh and brutal as the love it inspires.
