Aurealis award winner: David Kowalski's The Company of the Dead (review)
|
Australia is well known for the calibre of its scientists -- eight of whom have received Nobel prizes over the years. What we're not as well known for is our science fiction writers. But one emerging novelist is determined to change all that. David Kowalski's debut sci-fi thriller The Company of the Dead has won two prestigious Aurealis awards. The plot involves time machines, the Titanic, and nuclear catastrophe.
ABC Science journalist Peter Lavelle has read The Company of the Dead for the Book Show.
