Back cover of the Magpie version states: 'Sudden death rides the roads, racing abreast of mighty wheels that carry a magnificent enterprise deep into the heart of a law-shy country. Here is an epic of men who fight with bare hands for the things they want. Here is the story of men whose lives are ruled by violence. Famous author Will Lawson brings to life these hectic days of Australia's early history, and tells this tale of Cobb & Co. in his own inimitable manner. Packed with action and drama, it's a story you won't put down from first page to last.'

2 7 y separately published work icon The Breaker : A Novel Kit Denton , Kensington : Times House The Australian , 1983 Z818857 1973 single work novel historical fiction There was a Breaker Morant - he was executed at Pretoria on 27 February 1902. His crime? Wilful murder of civilians. Yet to this day his guilt remains in doubt. Kit Denton's novel, The Breaker, does more than recount the facts and mystery surrounding Morant's death sentence. Full of action and set in three continents, it covers the entire range of the Breaker's activities. We see him as a champion horseman, a likeable larrikin, a popular balladist. We see him in love and in war. Then we see him face the firing squad that will end his life. Was he a cold-blooded killer or a scapegoat? Based on a true story.
