Classic Australian SF 6: Out of the Silence

Classic Australian SF 6: Out of the Silence
by Erle Cox (with an Introduction by Van Ikin)

An advanced civilisation from the impossibly distant past is about to be resurrected in rural Australia.  What dark secrets does it hold?  Is it possible for a man to deny the requests of the world’s most beautiful and intelligent woman?  To fight a relentless and appealing logic no matter how horrific the consequences?

It’s rare that a novel captures a country’s soul.  How is it possible that a novel written almost a hundred years ago can speak to us so deeply of things that disturb and torment Australians even now? Out of the Silence is the most perplexing of novels, where during the course of the story your expectations and assumptions are turned 180 degrees.  You must read this one to the very end.  Once the climax hits, it will never leave you.
