Book
On 7 February 2009 Sergeant Roger Wood found himself at the epicentre of the worst bushfire disaster in Australia's history: Black Saturday. Wood, who's a country cop with twenty years' experience, and also a raucous, meditating, horse-riding vegan, was the only officer on duty in the small community of Kinglake. Over the course of one nightmarish day, he defends his town risking his own life.
