520    "1829, Tasmania. John Batman, ruthless, single-minded; 
       four convicts, the youngest still only a stripling; Gould,
       a downtrodden farmhand; two free black trackers; and 
       powerful, educated Black Bill, brought up from childhood 
       as a white man. This is the roving party and their purpose
       is massacre. With promises of freedom, land grants and 
       money, each is willing to risk his life for the prize. 
       Passing over many miles of tortured country, the roving 
       party searches for Aborigines, taking few prisoners and 
       killing freely, Batman never abandoning the visceral 
       intensity of his hunt. And all the while, Black Bill 
       pursues his personal quarry, the much-feared warrior, 
       Manalargena. A surprisingly beautiful evocation of horror 
       and brutality, The Roving Party is a meditation on the 
       intricacies of human nature at its most raw"--|cProvided
