O knihe

An epic tale of revenge and survival, Only Killers and Thieves brings to life a colonial Australia that bears a striking re-semblance to the American Wild West in its early years.

It is 1885, and a crippling drought threatens to ruin the McBride family. Their land is parched; their cattle are starving. When the rain miraculously comes, it renews their hope for survival. But, returning home one afternoon after swimming in a remote water hole that had been replenished by the downpour, fourteen-year-old Tommy and sixteen-year-old Billy encounter a shocking tragedy.

Thirsty for vengeance against the man who they believe has wronged them, the distraught brothers turn to the ruthless, cunning John Sullivan, their father's former employer and the wealthiest landowner in the region. As they journey across the barren outback in pursuit, their harsh and horrifying experiences will have a dev-astating impact on Tommy?and will hold enduring consequences for a young country struggling to come into its own.

Only Killers and Thieves is an unforgettable story of family, guilt, empire, race, manhood, and faith.
