A Far Country: South Australia, 1846, and the countryside is being rapidly cared into pastures and copper mines. It’s first come, first served and no prizes for coming second. But to hold your prize you must be as tough and unforgiving as the land itself. A young man, Jason Hallam, shipwrecked off the Yorke Peninsula, is taken in by the Narungga clan who live there. He learns their ways, hears the whispers that the kuinyo, the white man is coming to take their land. And then black and white tragically collide. Jason is caught between two worlds — his best friend, Mura, is Narungga, and Alison, the girl he loves, a grazier’s daughter. What price is he prepared to pay to tread his own path, make his own rules? A compelling story of loyalty, loss and survival, A Far Country is alive with the beauty and brutality of a wild frontier and the people who made it their home.
Claim the Kingdom: The year is 1793. Cash and Jack Tremain have arrived in Sydney Cove from Cornwall, summoned by their father to help him build an empire. Daring and headstrong, a leader of men and lover of women, Cash is determined to make his fortune. But his efforts bring him into conflict with the colony’s most powerful and corrupt men and soon he finds himself surrounded by enemies. Deeply troubled and prone to sudden fits of violence, Jack moves out to Parramatta to farm his father’s land. But Jack is a haunted man and his dreams are filled with a horror he can barely understand. The Tremain brothers can claim this kingdom for their own, but only if they are willing to pay a terrible price. A vast land lies open to those fearless enough and ruthless enough to claim it …
The Burning Land: That land out there has been burning me as long as I can remember. All these years I’ve been getting ready for this moment. I’m going out there to take hold of it … Raised by struggling Scottish immigrants in the sparsely inhabited mountains of the Port Phillip District, Matthew Curtis dreams of the vast unexplored spaces of inland Australia. Defying his stern foster-father, he leaves home — and the warm, grey eyes of Catriona Simmons — at sixteen. His journey takes him first to the brawling life of the goldfields with the beautiful Janice Honeyman, then north into the burning wilderness of the unexplored outback. An engrossing historical saga in the tradition of Evan Green and Wilbur Smith, The Burning Land bursts with life and the passion and daring of Australia’s pioneers.
