Description
A child is caught up in a power struggle between multi-national mining interests, media groups and the environmental lobby … an Australian Prime Minister is placed in a situation of unbearable tension. Copperhead Creek is a salutary warning about what can happen behind the scenes when pressure is brought to bear on key individuals I the community and innocent lives are altered or destroyed.
It is also an insider’s look at politics. Author Colin Mason, a Democrat senator for the past nine years, write with devastating effect about the political scene – its strains, it contradictions, its feet of clay. ‘Time for us to rejoin the human race’, pleads one of the characters, the wife of a politician.
Copperhead Creek is a brilliant evocation of the struggle between modern forces of good and evil.
