The Ring

What did Captain Thunderbolt and Jack Dempsey have in common with the Rats of Tobruk? What did the Boer War have in common with the infamous POW camp in Sandakan? The answers and lots more besides are detailed in this new book by Queensland author Herb Hamlet.
This story of historical fiction starts in Australia and follows the travels of a beautiful engagement ring as it moves with its various owners around the world over some 87 years.
From romance to villainy, and then from more romance to war-time exploits and extreme cruelty the story finally concludes back in Australia with a curious twist.
The author has researched this novel most thoroughly and perhaps because of that his depictions of the attitudes and atmosphere of war-time, particularly the siege of Tobruk, are most compelling.
There is much information in the book that many readers will find surprising and perhaps distressing. But there are also elements of romance and loyalty through difficult times that the reader may find up-lifting.
All taken together this book will engage and hold you in its grasp from beginning to end.
