Description:In the late 1860s, Somerset, on the northernmost tip of Australia's Cape York Peninsular, was a steaming and unruly outpost of Empire. Carved from the wilds as a port of refuge for shipwrecked mariners who escaped the claws of the Barrier Reef and the headhunting corsairs of Torres Strait, it became the tiny pivot of a heaving frontier peopled by pearlers and pirates, criminals and cannibals, brigands and blackbirders, and beche-de-mer men.Frank Jardine was Government Resident and Police Magistrate. Tough, resourceful and direct, he was debil-debil Jardine to the warring, hostile tribes on the Cape and among the islands of fearful 'Terror Strait'. His struggle was not only against spears and arrows, but isolation and mutinous police and the apathy of a distant government.This is the true story of Jardine; Nellie Blue-Eyes, refugee from a slaughtered island; missionaries; men of fortune; the shadowy Wy-mirra and powerful Mamoose Kebisu, the terrible white renegade called Wini... and of the beautiful Samoan girl, princess turned missionary, Sana.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
