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, tormented pilot and lifetime enemy, Kurt Amsburg has delusions of grandeur. He plots to reclaim the lifestyle of his aristocratic ancestors and to perfect revenge. Both would put Mike in his place.

Escaping her past, the tumultuous arrival of flying doctor nurse Pam Forbes is a pre-cursor to the maelstrom that follows. Finding her unconscious on the airport tarmac, Mike feels a connection. Her past? Her future? Their 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. Will one of the harshest places on earth break them—or forge bonds that outlast a lifetime as mystery, passion and confrontation follow their every step?

A suspenseful tale of resilience, redemption, and the power of the human spirit, Outback Danger is a three-decade roller coaster ride from dust-choked Central Australian cattle stations 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, Judy Nunn, Wilbur Smith and Annie Seaton, then make Outback Danger your next must read.

All with William Sims signature blend of intrigue, passion and dramatic action.

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”
