He finds instead that he is embroiled in the bitter struggle of the settlers to maintain the harmony they have established with the Maoris, which a new despotic Governor seems determined to wreck. ***A war of revenge breaks out after the abduction of the famous warrior Te Rauparaha, when his plan to assassinate the Governor and kill the Colonists becomes known. Mike Lane's sense of duty is subjected to further strain when he falls in love with Tara, the rebel chieftain's beautiful daughter. He tries to save from a miscarriage of justice a man whom he has never consciously seen, but who has several times saved his life and who is close to Tara. ***Here, told for the first time, is a stirring story based on little-known events in the history of New Zealand, on land-grabbing, secret despatches, rebellion, subterfuge, and the supernatural powers of the Maoris. But it is first a tale told in human terms of the conflict between a man's duty and his conscience.' (Quote from inside front jacket brlurb) ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
