Book excerpt: 'The master of the Australia historical blockbuster'. DAILY TELEGRAPH Daniel Johnson and Matthew Conway are currency lads – born and bred in the new land now being called Australia. Closer than brothers, they harbour a secret that binds them for life. But change is coming. When the British government resolves to turn back the clock and renew convict transportation, Daniel and Matthew find themselves on opposite sides of a fierce conflict that threatens to tear their friendship apart. Set in the bustling maritime world of 1830s Sydney, and spanning two decades, this is an unforgettable novel of loyalty and love that captures the spirit and energy of early Australia. 'A ripping great yarn, featuring characters with depth and storylines to match.' WEEKENDER 'Combines the facts of a turbulent part of Australia's history with a moving and often riveting fictional narrative.' GOLD COAST BULLETIN
