Insurrection

An Indigenous sacred site is threatened by a mine in Australia's remote Northern Territory. Lawyer Brewster joins battle in the courts to stop the destruction. But the traditional owners are impatient and home-grown Indigenous guerrillas occupy the mine.

Australia’s anti-terrorist forces converge on the mine and Brewster finds himself between two sides of a violent standoff. Will the lawyer be able to stop a bloodbath?

Brewster is a lawyer in the remote Northern Territory of Australia. Suffering depression from the loss of his lover to cancer, he defends the rights of an Aboriginal group to protect a sacred site from an illegally approved mining venture.

Sam Hurtle is a special services soldier honoured for his service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Returning to his community, he trains a group of disillusioned youths into finely honed guerrillas.

As the legal process in the courtrooms stalls, Hurtle’s guerrillas seize the mine and demand that the mining stop.

Insurrection is the acclaimed first novel by Bruce Honeywill in the Brewster Legal Thriller series. He delivers a suspenseful and thrilling story with a stunning conclusion!
