It's a long, mad ride from Summer Bay!Chicks, babes, cars and music; bored kids and shouting mothers; fathers that suck on a bottle to put themselves to sleep; and TV sets blaring mindlessly.

Neil Winscott, a discontented twentysomething, is finally coming round to the belief that Buracacia, the fantasy superpower world he'd imagined since childhood, was merely something he'd created to fill many voids in his life. But when the Buracacians not only become real but visit Earth to protect it from their arch-enemies, the Leeurns, Neil is forced to come face to face with his creation-and one senior Buracacian, the intuitive Starla, who considers him to have power over Buracacia's destiny. As Buracacian and Earthling cultures mingle uncomfortably, Neil feels anything but powerful and seeks solace with his salt-of-the-Earth friend Adam. When the Buracacians return to their planet, evacuating Earth's weary inhabitants for their own safety, the conflicts and bizarre situations that ensue not only test Neil's friendships but his sanity and conscience. Neil becomes forced to ask himself how much power and responsibility he has to help the Buracacians as an outright war with the Leeurns looms on the horizon. Buracacia is a sci-fi novel pregnant with psychological drama where childhood fantasy and harsh adult realities collide head on.
