Originally released under one of her many pen names, William Stuart Long, The Australians is a series about the immigration to Australia from England in the late 1700’s written by Vivian Stuart. The story primarily focuses on the convicts who are sentenced by the government to leave their home country and settle in Australia. The series is written as historical fiction with a ton of research going into each book about the immigration. 

The series is soon to be released in German, and we are currently working on the English and Danish versions too. 

The Australians #1: The Exiles 

They came from England – thieves, felons, murderers, justly and unjustly accused – human cargo destined to hack a life from the harsh Australian wilderness. Packed into the teemed holds of His Majesty’s ships. They sailed treacherous seas to the icy desolation of Antarctica, to the South Cape of Tasmania, to Captain Cook’s anchorage in Botany Bay.

It was a cruel, violent fate for fifteen-year-old Jenny Taggart. Falsely accused of theft, she was torn from her loved ones, a beautiful child among hardened convicts, an innocent in the craft of survival.

Tess Gerritsen is a widely popular international author, and we are so happy to have the honour of publishing her books. She is especially popular in Sweden where she is one of our bestsellers. Gerritsen has written 12 books about Rizzoli & Isles.

“Thrill master Gerritsen takes her readers on a fast-paced, wild ride [that] keeps readers guessing right up until a shocking ending.”

-Bangor Daily News

“Tess Gerritsen is an automatic must-read in my house; what Anne Rice is to vampires, Gerritsen is to the tale of medical suspense. She is better than than Palmer, better than Cook… yes, even better than Crichton. If you’ve never read Gerritsen, figure in the price of electricity when you buy your first novel by her… ’cause baby, you are going to be up all night.”

– Stephen King

Tess Gerritsen’s novels are influenced by her own past in the medical world, which makes her novels very realistic. Her main characters, Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles, are solving monstrously crimes in a terrifying setting – and they are good at it!
