Penn and Lipton Wise have set out to Falter City tomake their fortune. It's the future, obviously, and things are pretty grim. TheAustralian landscape is traumatized. Plague is rampant. Machines only work aswell as the poor sod pedaling them. Things are hotter and wetter than they usedto be, giving the whole place the vibe of a sweaty armpit.Lippy andPenn are hoping to set up shop in this grimy boom-town, but they've got to stayfrosty, because it's teeming with hustlers, swindlers, and scoundrels. It's thesort of place where a lucky moron could make an outrageous fortune in anafternoon and lose it all before bedtime. The sort of place where twoenterprising teenagers could really make something of themselves. Or so theysay.In hisfollow-up to the critically acclaimed Blue, Pat Grant confirms his reputation as"the Australian Mark Twain" (Craig Thompson, author of Blankets and Habibi) witha page-turning graphic novel about economic inequality, desperation, and thegambler's addiction to hope even in the worst of times.
