Set against the rugged, frozen backdrop of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, the story follows a French engineer and his family as they navigate the treacherous terrain of a massive underground power station project. When a series of inexplicable accidents and mechanical failures begins to plague the site, it becomes clear that a deliberate shadow is working against the project's success. Phyllis M. Power masterfully blends technical detail with heart-pounding suspense, capturing the post-war pioneer spirit that defined the Snowy Mountains era. The narrative explores themes of industrial espionage, international cooperation, and the sheer physical peril of taming the Australian wilderness. With its vivid descriptions of the subterranean world and the constant threat of the unknown, this novel stands as a classic piece of Australian adventure fiction, highlighting the tension between human ambition and those who wish to see it fail.
