Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Germ Growers: An Australian Story of Adventure and Mystery" by Robert Easterley and John Wilbraham is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around themes of adventure and mystery set against the backdrop of Australia, following the experiences of the main character, Bob Easterley, and his companion Jack Wilbraham. The plot hints at a blend of supernatural elements woven into their exploration, suggesting that their journey will uncover both external and internal conflicts. At the start of the narrative, Bob and Jack are enjoying a leisurely stay in Gippsland, Australia, reminiscing about a mysterious and extraordinary incident they experienced years ago in Kimberley. The conversation about a new gold-field triggers their memories of a haunting past, particularly around the enigmatic disappearance of a fellow named James Redpath, which they seem to be directly connected to. Adding to this, a sudden outbreak of a dangerous disease called the "red sickness" disrupts their lives, bringing a sense of urgency and fear, while also hinting at deeper currents of intrigue that intertwine with their recollections of past events. These early passages establish a rich tapestry of suspense and set the stage for the unfolding adventure to come.
