NEW RELEASE.
"THE RING" by Herb Hamlet is now available from www.strongandbold.com.
“The Ring” is an historical novel that follows the journey of a beautiful engagement ring from colonial Australia to South Africa, China, Japan and Borneo before arriving back in Australia 87 years later. The story tells of the lives that were touched by the Ring before, during and after three major world conflicts, the Boer War, the Japanese invasion of China and World War 2. This book will amaze and horrify most readers while relating details of the heroism of Australian soldiers during the Siege of Tobruk and in the Japanese POW camp at Sandakan. It also gives the reader a fascinating glimpse into the treatment of the Afrikaner women and children by the British military during the latter part of the Boer War. And early on in the journey an account of the life of Captain Thunderbolt, a real life Australian bushranger and highwayman. This is a well-researched book by the author of “Bluey’s War” with plenty of action based around actual events.
