Burning Season

An Odysseus Kalaris Australian Outback Thriller

De: Phillip Strang

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In the scorched savanna of the Kimberley, where fire is both life-giver and destroyer, Special Investigator Odysseus "Odie" Kalaris is called to investigate when the body of climate scientist Dr. Nathan Bennett is discovered amid a controlled burn gone wrong.

What begins as a suspected fire management accident evolves into something far more sinister, revealing connections between manipulated climate data and powerful corporate interests operating in the shadows of the Kimberley. When traditional fire breaks are found to have been deliberately sabotaged and irreplaceable rock art sites become targeted, Odie must navigate both scientific deception and the complex intersection of cultures that define this ancient land.

As the investigation intensifies under political pressure, Odie uncovers links between Bennett's whistleblower research and a systematic campaign to discredit climate science that threatens development projects worth billions. With fire continuing to threaten critical cultural sites and evidence disappearing in the flames, each revelation tests Odie's tracking abilities and puts his understanding of both his mother's Gija heritage and his father's Greek traditions to the ultimate test.

The vast Kimberley landscape conceals motives that blend corporate greed with scientific betrayal, where both cultural knowledge and environmental truth hang in the balance. But in a country where fire reveals more than it conceals, some tracks lead to secrets that will kill to stay buried.

Odie must rely on his unique ability to read both traditional signs and modern evidence before the killer strikes again, all while confronting forces that view the land only as a resource to be exploited.
