Australia is at war or not depending on whom you talk with. For Dan, a former soldier, that meant he is kept busy fostering children left behind by the conflict. With supplies from the Red Cross, as well as items scrounged from the black market and other means, Dan is able to care for the children until other arrangements can be made. Little does he realize that his next charge will bring about more than one change to his life.
After his cousin’s death, Sid is sent by his family to collect his niece. It soon becomes clear to Dan that the man who showed up at his font door on a motorcycle knows nothing about caring for a baby. When even the simplest act of changing a diaper causes comical reactions from Sid, Dan knows he has to go with him. Their first task though is to get rid of Sid’s bike since there is no way Dan or the baby will be crossing a large expanse of mined desert on the back. As the city is being bombed, the two men load up Dan’s vehicle, grab the baby and run. While on the road, Dan learns more about Sid than he ever thought. Trying to outrun a military helicopter determined to keep them from leaving the city, Sid performs an act of magic that brings the ‘copter down. To Dan’s surprise, Sid explains that, with the aid of donated body fluids, he is able to manipulate electromagnetism. Unfortunately, other magical individuals, not all of whom are friendly, can feel the power Sid has been using lately. Soon the men are running from not only angry enemy invaders but also some very unfriendly magicians as well.
Laney Cairo’s Running the Nullarbor is a truly engaging story. The magically insecure Sid is perfect for the injured ex-military Dan. The passion between them grows as they encounter many obstacles while taking the baby safely to her family. Soon neither can imagine being without the other. I cannot wait for the next installment to this series. Running the Nullarbor is a definite must read.
