Description

While the Moon Burns: The Frontier Series 11 by Peter Watt is "a sweeping epic befitting Australia's dramatic and inspirational history," as noted by Peter Fitzsimons.

In the war across the seas, the Duffys and the Macintoshes find themselves on the same side. However, on home turf, the battle between these two dynasties rages on.

After fighting in two world wars, Tom Duffy's purchase of his ancestral property, Glen View, signifies a home for the next generation of Duffys. But the Macintosh family is not ready to surrender this land easily, and when they challenge his ownership, he knows he's in for one hell of a fight.

Meanwhile, in Sydney, Sarah has taken over from her father as the head of the Macintosh firm. She has big plans for herself and the family business, and she isn't afraid to play dirty.

Sergeant Jessica Duffy, Captain James Duffy, and Major David Macintosh have survived countless battles the world over. However, will all they are fighting for still be waiting for them when they return home?

More praise for Peter Watt: "From the front lines of war to the backlots of Hollywood, Watt has fashioned a story that is as engaging as it is possible," says the Courier Mail on Beneath a Rising Sun.
