- Book Synopsis
- <p><em>Australia, around 2014BP</em> <br> <br> It is the time of the great games of prowess - managed by the Kabi Kabi people of southeast Queensland. <br> <br> Jundabara - the Fethafoot warrior from <em>FfC 3: The Contest</em> - is attending the significant event with his growing son Wogwun, and his practical, often short-tempered wife Niyola. Both adults have entered one of the demanding physical contests and local kin are looking forward to the events. Between the various rough and ready competitions, including a game of full-contact <em>Burionjin</em> with the huge hairy-man Grok; and being surreptitiously attacked by his tiniest enemy ever - Jundabara knows that he will need every bit of training and patience to keep the peace and see his own small family group safely through the great event.</p>
