Martyrs for a Sisyphean Dream

Cuz Cumming

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Cassie was a little girl who took every word literally and couldn't understand why she was 'welcomed to my coun- try' every day at school. Asked to leave and be home-s- chooled, her nana, Tina, enlisted the help of her friend Rewsta Hately, and he rewrote the rainbow serpent story for Cassie to draw. 
Meanwhile, Tina stumbled into the dark web when trying to make sense of how we are all being WOKED by left-wing political leaders and the ABC into believing our culture is inherently bad. Rewsta realized our cultural heritage was also being attacked and willfully discredited by well-funded right-wing activists and progressives. 
Rewsta's retirement village neighbours, known as the 'Second Marooners, were up to no good, led by the bullying and greedy manager, Myra Mindil. Rewsta came to believe that not only were our rights being abused but, in his potentially lethal retirement village, pride and democracy had already been vanquished. 
Just when he deserved a peaceful retirement, his fight for Cassie's rights and the antics in the village drew him into a world of intrigue and the unbelievable betrayal of our constitutional monarchy's foundations.
