No one had talked about fuel; what was the use of talking, anyway? But they all knew that engines which run on fuel have to run out of fuel sometime, and that the Egret just couldn’t keep on going for ever. They seemed to have been sitting in this plane, imprisoned, for days, waiting to die. Gerald just flew on and on as though he wanted to fly away to another world, almost as though he didn’t want to go down, almost as though he didn’t know how to go down.
When the Egret’s pilot dies…

Critics Review
‘The book that shines brightest is Ivan Southall’s To the Wild Sky. This was a proudly Australian story and the first novel to utterly confound me by denying the usual happy-ever-after…That was the moment I first understood the magic an author has in their hands.’ * Tim Pegler, author of Five Parts Dead *
