Bandicoot Book Jacket

To the casual observer, Captain Colin Huntington, R.N. (Ret.), might seems merely a compulsive gambler. The penetrating spectator of the human comedy is more likely to see him as a man fated to go through endless gyrations in a vain by continuing effort to escape from himself. Always he finishes precisely where he started – with the need to start plotting, yet again, a fresh attempt to escape.

​

When he seeks to retrieve his fortunes by drilling for off-shore oil on the Great Barrier Reef his failings soon take over. But this time he has involved not only governments but also vast international commercial-political cartels.

​

Soon he is the quarry in a complex chase adventure to end all chase adventure novels. Among those in pursuit of the elusive Captain as he drives with his mistress from Adelaide to Coober Pedy in the hunt for the world’s biggest opal are not only the entire Australian armed forces and police, but also the CIA, an airborne commando of the KGB and Japanese security forces not to mention various independent killers hired by interested bodies.

​

Even Dr Kissinger can’t avoid getting into the most outrageous of Richard Condon’s novels which will delight his followers and vastly increase their number.
