A FLYING DOCTOR NURSE

A SUPREMACIST FANATIC

AN ABORIGINAL POLICEMAN

BATTLEFIELD PTSD

 A sweeping saga of vivid deserts and sprawling skies, where fate and conflict collide. Where friendships are tested, nightmares never dim and the stubborn desire for love never fades.

Mike Thompson is determined to be equal to any man and better than most. But despite overcoming the scars of war, he struggles as a coloured policeman in a remote outback town.

Supremacist zealot and tormented pilot, Kurt Amsburg has been Mike's life-long enemy ever since childhood on a remote cattle station childhood. With delusions of grandeur, he plots to reclaim the lifestyle of his aristocratic ancestors and perfect his final revenge on Mike.

Escaping a disastrous relationship, Pam Forbes' tumultuous arrival as a flying doctor nurse is a pre-cursor to the maelstrom that follows. Finding her unconscious on the airport tarmac, Mike feels a connection. Something from her past? Or maybe her future?

As childhood rivalries fuel life-long conflict and bigotry simmers, the trio discover the remote town of Alice Springs is not the sleepy place expected. One of the harshest places on earth, will life in the remote, rugged Red Centre break them, or forge bonds that outlast a lifetime, as mystery, passion and animosity follow their every step?

A suspenseful tale of resilience and redemption, Outback Danger is a three-decade roller coaster from dust-choked Central Australia to suburban Melbourne, from London’s finest restaurants to Greece’s exotic Corfu, and from the violent jungles of Vietnam to a vast diamond mine.

If you love stories by Tony Park, Fiona McIntosh, Wilbur Smith and Judy Nunn, then make Outback Danger your next must read.

All with William Sims signature blend of intrigue, passion, dramatic action and a heart warming ending (for those who deserve one).

REVIEWS

“A sprawling, earthy and action filled story, uncomplicated but believable. The policing and other incidents cleverly woven through the story are down pat. While Kurt is about as complicated a character as we can imagine, I found his bird segments quite moving.” 

“A thoroughly enjoyable, fast-paced read. A refreshing surprise, I became fascinated with the way Kurt’s fanaticism interweaved into the dramatic roadblocks preventing Mike and Pam’s happiness. Set in an interesting time, it was a true piece of Australiana with captivating characters, vivid action and the feel and smell of the red dust of Central Australia.”

“A lively, appealing story. Mike is certainly an admirable character and Pam a great one, even if she isn’t necessarily a good judge of duplicitous men.”

“A fascinating blend of historical fiction and thriller novel. While it’s pacing constantly propelled the story it never overwhelmed. A strong atmosphere and memorable characters”
