The Last Goodbye — Chris Blake

Our band of intrepid ratbags has escaped the winjas with help from an unexpected catastrophe. To save humanity they have committed to leaving Earth and colonising the Moon. The Australasian Spaceport is on Cape York in Far North Queensland. However, Surfers Paradise is on the way, and Rowan the rat wants to check something out before they head off. It might be his last chance to catch up on his past if their plans succeed. But those interfering humans have done it again, and the Gold Coast is overrun by yet another man-made disaster. Now the rats have a secret weapon though, and circumstances conspire for them to use it in all-out war. It’s a fight to stave off extinction. Can they turn the tide, or this time have those thoughtless humans gone too far?
