Territory

a gripping family saga from the bestselling author of Black Sheep




MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

A breathtaking story of disaster, courage and passion and that Top End spirit that never says die.


JOURNEY TO AUSTRALIA
When Henrietta Southern trades war-torn England for Australia's Northern Territory, with its crocodile-infested rivers and red wilderness, she embarks on a new life on her husband, Spitfire pilot Terence Galloway's cattle station, six months after the bombing of Darwin.

BROTHERS IN ARMS
Their sons, Malcolm and Kit, grow up in this rugged land, must soon face their own trials in the jungles of Vietnam, shaped by the harsh yet beautiful world around them.

MYSTERY AND MUTINY
Tangled in the Galloway's story is the enigma of a Dutch East Indies treasure ship which foundered off Western Australia in 1629, its legacy of mutiny and murder rippling through time to touch their lives in unforeseen and dramatic ways.

A SAGA OF SURVIVAL
From the blazing inferno that was Darwin on 19 February 1942 to the devastation of Cyclone Tracy, from the red desert to the tropical shore, Territory is a mile-a-minute read from one of Australia's best loved writers.

About the author

Judy Nunn

Judy Nunn’s career has been long, illustrious and multifaceted. After combining her internationally successful acting career with scriptwriting for television and radio, Judy decided in the 90s to turn her hand to prose.

Her first three novels, The Glitter Game, Centre Stage and Araluen, set respectively in the worlds of television, theatre and film, became instant bestsellers, and the rest is history, quite literally in fact. She has since developed a love of writing Australian historically-based fiction and her fame as a novelist has spread rapidly throughout Europe where she has been published in English, German, French, Dutch, Czech and Spanish.

Her subsequent bestsellers, Kal, Beneath the Southern Cross, Territory, Pacific, Heritage, Floodtide, Maralinga, Tiger Men, Elianne, Spirits of the Ghan, Sanctuary, Khaki Town and Showtime! confirmed Judy’s position as one of Australia’s leading fiction writers. She has now sold over one million books in Australia alone.

In 2015 Judy was made a Member of the Order of Australia for her "significant service to the performing arts as a scriptwriter and actor of stage and screen, and to literature as an author".
