The Smuggler's Curse

Red Read’s life takes a surprising – and alarming – turn when
his mother sells him to an infamous smuggler plying his trade
off the north-west coast of Australia in the closing days of
the 19th century. From terrifying encounters with cut-throat
pirates to battling the forces of nature in a tropical typhoon,
from dining with head-hunting guerrillas to making meals of
monkey stew, Red is in for a hair-raising adventure that may
cost him his life.
