Description:
Eden Paperbacks, 1988. Fiction - Softcover (13 x 20 cm), 243 pages. ISBN: 0207155712. Good condition. Bumped, rubbed, chipped (most notably at edges). "This is a story set at the outbreak of WWI and deals with the life of a young part-Aboriginal - a top rider and crack shot - who after a tragic accident leaves his beloved Arnhem Land (and Bessie, the girl he loves) and rides off to join the Australian Light Horse. Only one of the very few Indigenous men who were accepted into this legendary unit. Billy sees action at Gallipoli, where he quickly develops into the ANZAC's top sniper and soon begins to challenge the best of the Turkish snipers in one-to-one combat. Mentally traumatised by the loss of his mates in the charge of the Light Horsemen at the Nek, Billy turns into a cold-blooded killer and extracts a fearsome toll on his Turkish foes. At the darkest moment in Billy's life he meets up with ANZAC Chaplain WIlliam McDonald, a born-again, godly man who has a profound affect upon his life."
