In Bandicoot, Captain Colin Huntington, a compulsive gambler and retired British naval officer, embarks on a high-stakes adventure across Australia. Pursued by various factions—including the CIA, KGB, Japanese security forces, and independent killers—Huntington's quest for the world's largest opal becomes a chaotic and satirical chase. Condon's narrative is filled with absurdities, dark humor, and a critique of global power dynamics, making it a unique entry in his repertoire of politically charged thrillers.
