WORST OF DAYS takes readers inside the ferocious, insatiable beast that was the Black Saturday inferno. It takes us to the people who found themselves in its path, fighting and fleeing the flames. It is a powerful journey into the human psyche, showing the very best and worst of what we do under threat: one man who's just heard his family has been killed goes on to save the lives of others and another man refuses to cover the face of someone who has died because 'it's not my job, mate.' This is a gripping behind-the-scenes tale of officials and their bungles, towns and their heroes, of survivors, saviours and lost souls. It is the story of the creature that pursued them all: fire.
