The Travellers

The Australians 8

By: Vivian Stuart

Narrated by: Simon Slater

The eighth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.

The new governor leads the colony with great efficiency, yet, life is still hard and burdensome. Once again, an attempt must be made to conquer the Blue Mountains — because beyond the large mountains, it is said that there are fertile plains and plentiful pastures. This had been Jenny's life-long dream, and now, her son Justin was on his way there. Was the dream finally about to come true?

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.

outstanding series

This series has not disappointed yet!! The continued saga is masterfully delivered keeping the characters alive.

The series is continues with suspense, intrigue, and all within history.

There isn't anything to dislike.. Vivian Stuart's writing is very good.
Audible has described many historical novels in the summaries as "if you like Hilary Mantel you will like this.... and never have I found it true. Vivian Stuart is first that I would say is similar to Hilary Mantel. Some of the wording is even the same. Of course, again, Simon Slater gave a magnificent performance. The variety of accents, genders, ages, seems extremely difficult to do. He is a master.
