Publisher Description
In the drought-ridden rangelands of Western Australia, Gabe Ahern makes his living trapping wild dogs for local station owners.
Still coming to terms with his wife's death - and the part he played in it - the old bushman leads a solitary life. Until one morning, when he rescues a young Afghan man, Altair, from certain execution.
Now, with a gang of people smugglers on his tail and the lives of Altair's family on the line, Gabe is drawn into a ruthless game of cat and mouse. His main opponent is Chase Hunter, a kangaroo hunter with bush skills as wily and sharp as his own.
As the old dogger and roo-shooter go head to head, Gabe will need all his cunning to come out of this alive.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Set in the sun-baked expanse of Western Australia's rangelands, Michael Trant's Wild Dogs is a gripping thriller that combines a heart-pounding plot with remarkable depth of emotion. When Gabe Ahern, an ageing wild-dog catcher, rescues Afghan refugee Amin from certain death, he finds himself relentlessly pursued by a merciless gang of people smugglers. As well as creating memorable characters, Trant has expertly crafted a tale that showcases the challenges for and resilience of those living in one of the world’s most remote regions. Narrated with nuance and precision by Ric Herbert, the audiobook is an immersive experience.
