‘A vivid tale of a bushranger’s life and an animated insight into the motives, consequences, and the ultimate price of living as an outlaw. A page turner.’ Edita Mukic, Author Between Before & After; ‘A wonderful follow up to Steve Hart – The last Kelly Standing. Colloquial dialogue, visceral descriptions and impeccable research all weave together to form a vivid story, a time capsule to the past. The plight of Larry Cummins’ colourful life of adventure, heartache, resolve, and risk taking has been beautifully recreated by an author whose family connections make the story heartfelt and real. You’ll peer down Larry’s rifle sights, smell the gunpowder, gallop astride a colt pursued by an unrelenting trooper. An intriguing and reflective ending.’ Jack Roney, Author of the Detective Jarrod O’Connor Series: The Angels Wept, The Demons Woke, The Shadows Watch; ‘Peter Long’s literary style compels thought and reflection. In my view, a truly under-rated author adding compelling and important works to the Australian historical fiction genre. A few pages into Identity and I was swept along. I read this in a weekend – you will too. Masterful.’ Cate Sawyer, Co-author, Winning Short Story Competitions: Essential tools for the serious writer
