Only Killers and Thieves by Paul HowarthMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The white man has destroyed more lives in history on the presumption that they are ridding the world of inferior races. Why are men so afraid of whom they do not understand? In this historical fictional story by Paul Howarth who lived sometime in Australia has brought to life a tale of two young boys that are faced with the killings of his parents and sister. The year is 1885 in Queensland Australia, while out hunting the boys happen upon a posse of the Native Patrol Police where they witness the enslavement, torture, and killing of aboriginal people. Lead into the outback to seek revenge on the culprits that killed their parents both boys must come to terms with their thoughts on racism in the world. History, what have we learned? Nothing! We are still killing each other. Only Killers and Thieves is a well tied together book that brought the brutality of the harsh environment and the deadly deeds done by ruthless individuals to light in this coming of age novel; I recommend it highly.
