On the run, Ned, a juvenile delinquent falsely accused of arson, falls in with a group of illegal immigrants from the planet Newharp. Disguised as the mentally deficient brother of Em and Harri, he joins them in a detention camp and then the illegal immigrant areas of Jackson's Port, working as a bootleg organ salesman.

Somewhat heavy-handed satire on Australia's immigration policies. I did like the cameo of the cat burglar (not what you think it means) though. The short story sequel, "The Gizzard Wizard", was much more fun. ( )
