The short stories in this collection follow characters that are plucked away from their normal lives to face wildly abnormal situations. An old coachman must face the death of his passenger; a missionary loses a colleague in the swollen waters of the Turakina River; a cranky ghost wreaks havoc on a Kapiti train; and a bloodied figure travels through time. From a reimagined history to a future where holograms walk the streets, these stories traverse time and genre to explore adventurous frontiers in the past, present, and future.

Highlights for me were:
- The title story, with a Pakeha-Maori mysteriously turning up injured in the present day and developing a friendship of sorts with the man who rescues him.
- My Brother's Blood about two brothers separated for years and the clash when they meet again; one is a sealer and the other in a religious order.
- The Snack Machine set in the present and about the relationship between a man and his young step-son.
