Rynemonn by Terry Dowling

Completing the internationally acclaimed saga brought to us in
Rynosseros, Blue Tyson and Twilight Beach. At last, in eleven
exciting linked stories, Tom Rynosseros will uncover his origins,
discover what truly happened in the Madhouse and learn the
meaning of the three signs that have haunted his life.

In Rynemonn, Tom will face his destiny in the strange red deserts
of this ancient land. In Rynemonn, the Blue Captain will come
home.

Woman's Face is all that Tom Rynosseros remembers from his time in the Madhouse. But who was
he? Why did the powerful tribes send him there? What do the three signs mean? From the haunted
streets of Twilight Beach to the burning heart of this future Australia, from the eerie wind-river called
the Soul to the dream-ridden shores of the Inland Sea, Tom searches desperately for whatever pieces
of his life he can find.'
[From Blue Tyson and Twilight Beach published by Aphelion Publications]

''The Adventures of Tom Rynosseros' are one Australian's
response to Frank Herbert's Dune and J.G. Ballard's
Vermilion Sands. At once epic and intimate, sweepingly
romantic and stirringly adventurous, the Tom Tyson stories
stand amongst the very best work that science fiction has to
offer.

'Rynemonn, the final book in the series, is a fitting capstone
to the tales that Dowling began a quarter of a century ago,
both a grand finale and a possible glimpse of a new
beginning. A book to be treasured.' Jonathan Strahan
