ICE

Medford Haley is Sioux. He is a surfboard shaper whose clientele consists of surfers who travel beyond the fringes in search of new and different adventures. His latest stint beyond he home at Noosa Heads, Australia begins when he is awakened in the early morning hours by his neighbour, the daughter of a very close friend in great distress. It seems that she had inseminated herself with the semen from a frozen and mummified corpse of a Neolithic man discovered eighteen year prior and a rabid right wing bunch of religious nutters want to kill her and her son, who is Medford's clean-up and ding repair kid at his factory. Medford and the mother and son flee into the night heading for 'A place that time forgot and the Christians couldn't find.' Which turns out to be and island of cannibalistic head-hunters in the Tabu Group in Northern Papua New Guinea. Medford enlists his old surfing buddy and yachtsman Charlie Hefernan to facilitate an incredible disappearing act. Once again Medford is stuck between a rock and a harder place. Will this indeed be the ageing Medford's last stand against overwhelming odds when going back is the only way of going forward? Only time and a double dose of Sioux wisdom can tell.
