About the Book

‘Maralinga...a desolate place where history demands an emerging nation choose between hell and reason.’

During the darkest days of the Cold War, in the remote wilderness of a South Australian desert, the future of an infant nation is being decided... without its people's knowledge.

Maralinga is a story of five souls who all find themselves in a violent and unforgiving landscape; infected with the unique madness and excitement that only nuclear testing creates.

It is also a story of love; a love so strong that it draws an adventurous young English journalist halfway around the world in search of the truth.

Ultimately, Maralinga is about heartbreak; brought to the innocent First Australians who had walked their land unhindered for 40,000 years.

The power to love, the power to hate, and the power to destroy human existence ... Maralinga has them all!

About the Author

Judy Nunn’s career has been long, illustrious and multifaceted. After combining her internationally successful acting career with scriptwriting for television and radio, Judy decided in the 80s to turn her hand to prose. The result was two adventure novels for children, which remain extremely popular, not only in Australia but in Europe.

Embarking on adult fiction in the early 90s, Judy’s three novels, The Glitter Game, Centre Stage and Araluen, set respectively in the worlds of television, theatre and film, became instant bestsellers. Her subsequent bestsellers, Kal, Beneath the Southern Cross, Territory, Pacific, Heritage and Floodtide confirm her position as one of Australia’s leading popular novelists.
