From Library Journal
Based on historical fact, this is a wonderful story of little-known events and characters in the dramatic 19th-century colonial history of New Zealand. Lieutenant George Fairweather, late of her Majesty's British Imperial Army, has resigned his commission and journeyed east to Poverty Bay, seeking new vistas to paint and hoping to resume his relationship with a half-caste Maori woman. Ever on the outside looking in, a man who shies away from permanent ties, Fairweather is enlisted in the defense of the colonists, against the rebel Kooti and his followers, who liken themselves to the Israelites cast out of Egypt, led by a new Moses. Tough and tragic, this novel powerfully explores some universal themes: the futility of war and the rights of the conqueror and the conquered. It deserves a wide audience. Highly recommended. Lydia Burruel Johnson, Mesa P.L., Ariz.

From Publishers Weekly
"Based on a gory series of skirmishes near Wellington between 1868 and 1869, this novel combines a knockout of a war story, a tour of as yet unexploited Maori country, an account of British imperialism and a portrait of native life and customs to create a vivid pageant of colonial New Zealand," praised PW . Illustrated.
