Blockade (novel)

Blockade is a 1998 novel written by Derek Hansen about logging in Australia.

The protagonist is Miklos Bollok, a logging company owner who uses corrupt politicians to clear-fell the last remaining wilderness in Victoria, Australia.

Jean Ferguson of the Illawarra Mercury calls it "A passionate and explosive new novel from a great storyteller".

[1] Herald Sun's Simon Caterson writes "A well-spun yarn lasting 500 easily digestible pages, Blockade seems destined to repeat the commercial success of his earlier books".

[2] Stephen Prickett of the Canberra Times writes "Once set in motion, the action is fast-moving, sometimes funny, sometimes violent, but always compulsively gripping".
