About this listen

From the boardrooms and backstreets of Sydney to the hazardous waters of the Coral Sea, the sequel to Cry of Curlew confirms the exceptional talent of master storyteller Peter Watt.

A riveting tale of love, death and revenge.

Soldier of fortune Michael Duffy returns to colonial Sydney on a covert mission and with old scores to settle, still enraged by a bitter feud between his family and the ruthless Macintoshes. The Palmer River gold rush lures American prospector Luke Tracy back to Australia's rugged north country in his elusive search for riches and the great passion of his life, Kate O'Keefe.

Excellent story with an introduction to pieces of Australian history that may have gone unacknowledged had I not chosen to put some time aside to listen.
A story that was easy to follow, with uncomplicated character's.
Narration was a joy to hear. If I had read the story myself, from a book, I could not have envisaged the individual character's as the narrator has presented in this production.
Moving onto the next in the series ASAP....

A sanctuary from lifes routines.
