From Far North Queensland's Palmer River goldfields to London, Afghanistan and Germany, The Colonial's Son is the thrilling follow-up to Peter Watt's Colonial Series.
As the son of 'the Colonial', legendary Queen's Captain Ian Steele, Josiah Steele has big shoes to fill. Although his home in the colony of New South Wales is a world away, he dreams of one day travelling to England so he can study to be a commissioned officer in the Scottish Regiment.
After cutting his teeth in business on the rough and ready goldfields of Far North Queensland's Palmer River, he finally realises his dream and travels to England where he is accepted into the Sandhurst military academy. While in London he makes surprising new acquaintances – and runs into a few old ones he'd rather have left behind.
From the Australian bush to the glittering palaces of London, from the arid lands of Afghanistan to the newly established Germany dominated by Prussian ideas of militarism, Josiah Steele must now forge his own path.
'Watt has a true knack for producing captivating historical adventures filled with action, intrigue and family drama.'
