Straight — Michael O'Leary

Straight is the first in Michael O'Leary's trilogy, Dreamlander Express. It is the story of Paul Calvert who returns to his hometown, Auckland, after being away in 'dreamland' for several years. He discovers that all the things he knew about the family he grew up in are false. Questions arise: was his real father a high-ranking SS officer and was his conception and birth a Nazi racial experiment to test whether the Maori people of New Zealand are the Ayrian Maoris as suggested by 19th Century eugenic philosophers.
