'When Scott Brooks graduated from Teacher’s College he was excited about his new career as a high school teacher. He wanted to make a difference in the students lives. But when the department sent him to a school deep in the heart of the Australian outback, he had no idea what he had gotten himself into!

'Bailey’s Crossing… A town where racism and hatred is not only tolerated, but bred! A town where graft and corruption are the norm. a town ruled by the iron fist of one wicked man – Bill Harden.

'No one crosses Bill. Not if they expect to survive!

'Scott had never met a more frightening, menacing, bigoted, racist, greedy or manipulative person, and as the weeks went by, more and more of Bill’s evil, wicked skullduggery became apparent.

'Follow Scott’s story as he stumbles and falls, picks himself up again, finds redemption, meets the woman of his dreams and bands together with a small group of committed Christians who set about the overwhelming task of bringing down the evil, wicked Bill Harden!'

'Best friends Robert, Tim, Simone and Heather spend a week of their end of term holidays on Tower Island, with some other mates. As far as they know they’re the only ones on the island.

They soon discover that a gang of crooks are holed up in the old gaol, and are making illegal drugs! The friends do their best to mess with the criminals’ plans, facing immense danger along the way. What with kidnapped slaves, a broken radio, a thief in the bush, secret passageways and a dangerous ship in the night, the week away becomes more than a nice little holiday. Along the journey the friends learn a lot about themselves, each other and the importance of healthy, Godly relationships.'
