About the Book

"The Boat went almost perpendicular. Thrown full back on her rudder she flew over the next foamer, fell with a crash into the trough following. Pain stabbed Rus’s hip—Shit, The Package! In the excitement of frenzied natural forces and frenetic activity of catch and re-baiting within that fast-risen sea and wind, it had slipped his mind completely. William James 'Walrus' Rose’s long-term relationship with volatile ex-erotic dancer Jill has finally turned turtle. As an unsuccessful actor/author/playwright, he's also had a gutful of The Arts with its anus-lickers and parasites. Better a dinkum profession where a bloke's only ambitions are to catch lobster and avoid drowning. Within a day of arrival in Port Gong the locals reduce his nickname `Walrus’ to just 'Rus', and he finds work as a deckie with Possum Wright, eccentric skipper of the local fishing fleet's smallest vessel. Possum is a delightful fellow with whom to fish, but Rus has been warned he can be dangerously erratic. Rus therefore seldom completely relaxes when they are offshore. The Southern Ocean is a wondrous but challenging workplace. When its waters turn murderous it is not the spot to be in a small craft beside a bloke, by now far more your cobber than your boss, who appears to be losing his mind. "Characterized by wit, energy, and sharp perception, his writing is wise and always entertaining." John Clarke "In regard to his favourite theme, the sea, he is better qualified to speak on the subject than anyone I know." Bruce Pascoe

About the Author :
A multifarious existence has seen Jim Ewing work on and under oceans as a merchant seaman, fisherman and diver. A few too many other vocations include professional sportsman (AFL football and boxing), journalist, psychiatric nurse, stockman, oil rig worker, bulldozer operator, actor, playwright, farmer. He has had several plays produced for stage and radio, and his short stories have appeared in publications as diverse as Penthouse and Meanjin. Two That Got Away is his second published novel. When not on the wallaby in some obscure corner of Planet Earth he calls south-west Victoria home.
