Sinopsis

"Mother!" exclaimed Mr. Smithers, as he came into the parlor about supper time one winter evening, "that boy's a fool."
Mrs. Smithers, who was a quiet-looking, blond little woman, about thirty-five years of age, looked up from a book she was reading, and regarded her husband with a weary air.
"What boy?" she asked, languidly.
"As if you didn't know?" replied Mr. Smithers.
"We have two," she said, calmly.
"Oh, that boy, Tommy."
"What has he done now?"
"Done! why he is always doing something absurd. I told him this morning, before I went out, to cut up all the wood in the yard."

    IN THE MIDST OF BLOODSHED AND REBELLION A NEW GENERATION STRUGGLED TO BE BORN...
     
    The fifth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
     
    In the British colony of Australia, the obstacles are challenging and never-ending. The new governor, Bligh — better known for his command on the Bounty and the mutiny against him — has already gained a relentless enemy: The New South Wales Corps, also known as The Rum Corps due to their profitable side business. Governor Bligh's other enemies are the Irish rebels — who wish to end his life!
    And what will be the fate of Jenny Taggart-Broome now? 
    The hardships of life in the colony, as always, hit "regular" people the hardest.
     
    Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.
