Description of this Book
A Flame Flickers in the Darkness is an historical fiction set during the New Zealand colonisation period of the 1860s. It follows the adventures of two key protagonists; Whero, a young Maori warrior attempting to complete the Greenstone Trail, a rite of passage that will determine his path in life and Jack O'Malley, a young Irish seaman and first mate of the whaling ship, The Flying Scotsman. After a strained start, the two become firm friends although when New Zealand deteriorates into a war brought on by the Colonial Government's lust for the fertile Maori land at the centre of the North Island, the two are asked to question where it is that their true loyalties lie. The novel spans the First Taranaki War, the Invasion of the Waikato, events on the Chatham Islands and The Second Taranaki War.
