This review is from: The Golden Soak (Hardcover)
Alec Falls studied at the Royal School of Mines in London and after that married Rosalind but his prospecting work in Belavedra ended in bad luck when his team hit granite with no vestige of tin or other mineral.
When Alec realises one day that Rosalind has left him, he decides to try his luck again in Australia, this time at an abandoned gold mine in Jarra Jarra, Golden Soak, which belongs to Ed Garrety, a man Alec met in Australia two years ago before returning to England. Before leaving their house in Cornwall, Alec sets it on fire with the hope that the media will spread the news that he died in the blaze. Will he be more successful in his second attempt at mining in Australia and will Golden Soak bring him the riches he craves for? Not an easy task in a country where the landscape is "a frozen hell, all that gold and red, and the sun a great disk blazing on the lip of the desert, sinking till its lower rim touched the horizon, melting along it like some great steel mould pouring molten metal."!
