In the throes of the Pacific War, a troubled young man, Murph Turner, seeks solace in the Western Australia pearling town of Broome after his home was destroyed. Instead, he finds true friendship, romance, adventure, and wartime treachery.

A teen and young adult novel filled with adventure, danger, and more! His home destroyed in The Pacific War, a troubled young man, Murph Turner, stumbles into the exotic pearling town of Broome hoping for safe harbour. Instead, he discovers a lawless place brimming with espionage, treachery, and murder. An outsider in a bewildering land of red dust and paranoia, Murph is quickly taken under wing by Banjo, a cheeky Aboriginal scamp with a passion for pyrotechnics, and Micki, a beautiful teenager on the run from authorities. But even as the Japanese armada closes in on the northern coastline, the trio is suddenly thrust into a murderous adventure, all set against the backdrop of a true wartime tragedy. Follow Murph as he navigates a war-torn world, and comes of age through friendship, romance, and resilience.

Enter the turmoil of war-torn Australia during WWII. Deep Enders is based on actual events linked to Pearl Harbor, so shocking that the matter was immediately covered up by Allied governments and has remained largely unknown for 75 years.

An action-packed adventure filled with wonderful characters, life, and colour. Deep Enders is a wild ride for readers! — Leah James, film producer
