Name penned on fep\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA baroque and visionary work of speculative fiction, \"Kisses of the Enemy\" positions a newly republican Australia as the stage for a savage political allegory, tracing the catastrophic rise of Bernard Buchanan, a real-estate agent turned president who trades vast uninhabited tracts of the continent to a sinister anonymous multinational in exchange for power, triggering a descent into a surveillance state where immigrants are shipped to work camps and Buchanan himself bloats into a grotesque embodiment of unchecked authority, all while Hall argues that Australia's open, accommodating society carries within it a fatal vulnerability to foreign opportunism and the seductions of empire in a new guise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810577166555,"sku":"2026600000089-SECONDHAND","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bfa62ba4-f14e-4be4-a9b0-14ba0c375e5c.png?v=1779805527","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000089-secondhand-kisses-of-the-enemy-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
