The Silent Country

From Australia's favourite storyteller with new novel The Endless Sky coming December 2025.

The Silent Country is a vast and beautiful wilderness, a place which holds secrets and stories that are rarely spoken.

TV producer, Veronica Anderson, travels to the Northern Territory to retrace the journey of an expedition that had set out fifty years earlier to film the outback, but which mysteriously ended in tragedy.

Of the group, led by the eccentric Maxim Topov, few are still alive and they are reluctant to talk about the intriguing events.

It is through the help of local NT Park Ranger, Jamie McIntosh, that Veronica begins to piece together the puzzle and discover the answers.

These answers break the silence and change her life.
