I must say that I have been waiting for this since reading the original trilogy. And I was sold the moment I read the line 'but they forgot that Australia was inhabited by Australians' (there may have been some cackling).
Though I do have some questions that remain unanswered.
1) What meat was in those sausages that Mahir had? Mostly because I was pondering how The Rising would have affected the popularity of emu farming.
2) Speaking as one from more northerly latitudes, how has the rising affected coastal Australia's beach culture?
3) And while it was interesting to see how KA interacted with marsupials compared to placental mammals, that leads to the inevitable next question. What about the monotremes? While platypi and echidnas would never get over the amplification threshold for size reasons (I think), the fact remains that they're the most extreme outliers on the mammal family tree. Egg layers, use the W and Z sex chromosomes like birds and lizards (and have 10 of them!) ets.
