Publisher's Summary

He thought he had everything until tragedy struck... Adam Ross, orphaned at nine, cherished a dream - that one day he would have land of his own. The opal fields of Coober Pedy offered his first glimpse of riches - and Nellie, a dusky beauty, provided his first taste of love...

From the western plains of New South Wales to the balmy waters of Sydney Harbour, from the grinding heat of a West Australian cattle station to the eerie desert shores of Lake Eyre, Adam was driven by his ambition. At his side stood Heather, a woman whose blonde beauty masked a calculating heart of ice. And when tragedy struck, it seemed that Adam would never realise his dream...

Engrossing Story

Gripping story, excellent narration. Incredible detail, even excruciating at times. But hard to stop listening

Good but long winded

Very good storyline with great performances but very longwinded. Had me at the edge of my seat many times.

Riveting from start to finish

Absolutely beautifully written, Perfect Narration!! I was so drawn in, that I would get angry everytime Heather spoke to Adam. Can't wait to listen to Kalinda!!!

Brilliant story

I loved the story and I’m about to start the second book. The narrator didn’t really suit an Australian outback style and I found the narration distracting rather than complimentary to the story.

Good story but the Narration was off

Loved the story but felt the Narrator didn’t fit the Outback characters. Lots of twist & turns in the story though

Uuuuuuggggghhhhh

Uuuggghh kill me now, this went on and on. Story started out great and quickly bogged down in absolute BS. No one, and I mean no one, would put up with Adams wifes crap. So unrealistic.

Such a great book !!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I miss all the characters now that I’ve finished it. It’s a long one so great for a long road trip and then some.

Most of the time it was hard to put the book down.

The author was spot on describing the Australian landscape. One of the best ebooks I have listened to. Always entertaining.
