Brennen Siding, a hamlet on a tributary of the famous Miramichi River, is home to an unforgettable crew â teenagers Shadrack Nash and Dryfly Ramsey and their families, friends, and neighbours. Hilda Porter, Shad's elderly employer, treasures the story of Trucanini, the last Tasmanian, while the invasion of TV, Elvis, and rich American salmon fishermen influences everything, including Shad and Dry's escapades. Are they, like Hilda and Trucanini, the last of their kind?

The Last Tasmanian is the second volume in the humorous yet poignant Brennen Siding Trilogy.

Hendrick Nellis is a Tory guerrilla at the Niagara frontier at the end of the American Revolution; he is also a redeemer of whites abducted by Indians. He kidnaps his own son, Oskar, for King George's army, and it is Oskar, haunted by dreams, who tells this ambivalent tale of war and redemption.

The violent, erotic, and partly true story of The Life and Times of Captain N. trespasses into the psychic no-man's-land where the delirium of combat drives human nature into a primal frenzy.
