About this ebook
The fourth novel in the compelling Duffy and Macintosh series.
"The home grown version of Wilbur Smith" The Sunday Age
When Major Patrick Duffy's beautiful wife Catherine leaves him for another, he is propelled out of the Sydney Macintosh home and into yet another bloody war. However the battlefields of Africa, fighting the Boers, bring him in contact with one he thought long dead and lost to him.
Back in Australia, the mysterious Michael O'Flynn mentors Patrick's youngest son, Alex, and takes him on a journey to the Queensland property, Glen View. But will the terrible curse that has inextricably linked the Duffys and Macintoshes for generations ensure that no true happiness can ever come to them?
Through the dawn of a new century in a now federated nation, To Chase the Storm charts an explosive tale of love and loss, from South Africa to Palestine, from Townsville to the green hills of Ireland.

Peter Watt again puts the reader in the centre of Australian history, but this novel lacks the pizzazz of his earlier work. This book was a little slow and single dimensioned. Still a good read, but not as good as his other novels in the series.
