Standfast Ted Skuse

STANDFAST continues the history of the cattlemen, the McDonalds, following the forced sale of their huge family property, Mount Tanami Station. The plot revolves around a stand-off which develops when a group of indigenous locals arrive claiming authority to take possession on behalf of the purchaser. But are their claims legitimate? Alone, except for his loyal dog pack, Sandy McDonald has a decision to make which could have fatal consequences. Does he cave into the pressure or standfast? The tension builds in this thriller as Sandy McDonald is tested to the limits of his endurance. The story reintroduces many of the colourful characters who appeared in the first two novels in this series - Killing Season and Transformed. Standfast is a worthy successor to these highly acclaimed novels.
