Driven into banditry by injustice, this Australian Robin Hood, magnificent horseman and skilled bushman, was celebrated by his victims as vigorously as he was hunted by the law.

Until one day .... Written by genealogist and biographer Carol Baxter (pub. Allen & Unwin, 2017), this book was praised by the Canberra Times (Australia) as being “compelling”. It is being turned into a television series.

In the 1840s, the world's first commercial "electric telegraph" operators were struggling to gain business interest in their revolutionary new form of communication technology. Then on New Years Day 1845, English Quaker John Tawell, who was a one-time Australian convict with a strange life story, was "caught by the wires". Unwittingly, Tawell pulled off an extraordinary hat-trick. He brought the fledgling transportation, energy and communication industries together in one murderous swoop. The results kick-started the Communication Revolution. This true story written by genealogist and biographer Carol Baxter was praised by The Times (London) as being “as lively and readable as a crime novel”.
