'The Potato Factory', 'Tommo & Hawk', and 'Solomon's Song'.
These three books are presented together for the first time in this special collector's edition.
'The Potato Factory'
Ikey Solomon and his partner in crime, Mary Abacus, each must make the harsh journey from thriving nineteenth-century London to the convict settlement of Van Diemen's Land. In the backstreets and dives of Hobart Town, Mary learns the art of brewing and builds the Potato Factory, where she plans a new future. But her ambitions are threatened by Ikey's wife, Hannah, her old enemy. The two women raise their separate families, one legitimate and the other bastard. As each woman sets out to destroy the other, the families are brought to the edge of disaster.
'Tommo & Hawk'
The sweeping adventures of twin brothers Tommo and Hawk Solomon. Brutally kidnapped and separated in childhood, Tommo and Hawk are reunited at the age of 15 in Hobart Town. From whale hunting in the Pacific to the Maori wars of New Zealand, from the Rocks in Sydney to the miners' riots in the goldfields, Tommo and Hawk must learn each other's strengths and weaknesses in order to survive. Along the way, Hawk meets the outrageous Maggie Pye, who brings love and laughter into his life. With Tommo at his side, Hawk takes on a fight against all odds to save what they cherish most.
'Solomon's Song'
This is the story of two families - branches of the Solomons - transported to an alien land, both of whom eventually grow rich and powerful but who, through three generations, never for one moment relinquish their hatred for each other. It is also the story of Australia from the beginning until Australia came of age as a nation.
