Histoire
The four fires in this story are passion, religion, warfare, and fire itself. While there are many more fires that drive the human spirit, love being perhaps the brightest flame of all, it is these four that have moulded us most as Australian people. The four fires give us our sense of place and, for better or for worse, shape our national character.

His mother steers him towards a university education, but with just six months of his degree to go, he signs up for the AIF, driven by a desire to serve his country and plain wanderlust. Danny serves in South-east Asia, spends three and a half years as a POW, and returns a broken man, embittered and facially disfigured. He is scared and overwhelmed by the need to sort himself out, to find out who the hell he is....

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Narrator Humphrey Bower captures each character, making listeners forget that one majestic voice creates the various natives, the Irish, the English, and people of all ages. Few will fail to be enthralled by this adventure saga, which skillfully captures history while keeping listeners glued to their earphones." (Audiofile)

Disappointing ending

Amazing narrator
I have listened to a lot of books and this narrator truly brings the story to life.
I didn’t know if I would enjoy Tommo and Hawk as much as the Potato Factory but the writing was so rich you are transported back into 1860 and life in NZ and Australia. I feel so blessed to live in this millennium.

Can’t wait for the follow-up
I enjoyed the story and was sad to learn about the painful history. I was inspired to research some facts and was amazed by the talent of the narrator to change his voice. I am SO glad that the story continues.
