Book Description
Excerpt from Children of the Cloven Hoof A pair of magpies fluttered into the darkness of the bush where the wonga vines festooned the endless line of barbed wire fence. Heat haze, white as moonlight, clung to the quartz-tipped ranges in the East. On the flats below the haze ran to rusty gold where the grass had yielded to the merciless strokes of the sun. From a hoof-beaten cattle-pad, on the western edge of the pine scrub, rode a trooper wearing the uniform of the Queensland police. About a whip length in his wake came a narrow-chested blackboy mounted on a sleek Government horse. The roof of a small homestead showed white against the sheer wall of jungle in the far north. Halting a moment, the trooper scanned, through a pair of binoculars, the small stockyard and outbuildings situated at the rear of the homestead. You think they're all out? He called to the blackboy. Nobody at home, eh? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
