In this collection of short stories, Colin Ryan, an Irish-language writer from Australia, makes his own of the language and gives it a unique Australian twist.

The stories touch on travellers, criminals, soldiers, the dead, people who have gone missing, people who are searching for others, and those who are being searched for.

Like a dream, or a surreal alternate universe, never really sure where we stand and our only option is to look again and revisit these perceptive stories.

Ionmholta malairt bhisigh, a duirt an file fado, agus an te a thabharfaidh faoin gcnuasach gearrscealta seo on Domhan Thios, beidh siad ar aon intinn leis.

Sa leabhar seo, an chead chnuasach le Colin Ryan, cuirtear cor i nGaeilge na hEireann lena chur in oiriuint do chuinsi na hAstraile.

Deantar tracht ar lucht taistil, ar choirpigh, ar shaighdiuiri, ar na mairbh, ar dhaoine a chuaigh amu, ar dhaoine ata ag cuardach daoine eile no a bhfuiltear sa toir orthu fein.

Mar a bheadh aisling ann, no domhan osrealach eigin, deantar ionramhail ar theamai ar nos an ghra agus fhuatha, bas agus beatha, bron agus buairt ionas nach mbimid cinnte riamh ca seasaimid - agus nil de rogha againn ach na sarscealta seo a leamh an athuair.
