  • A rollicking fictionalised tale about (real life) powerful characters, and how by helping preserve the dominance of the British Navy they arguably altered the outcome of WW1.
  • Main characters: Gertrude Bell (famous explorer, archaeologist and supporter of women's rights – Nicole Kidman play her in the film Queen of the Desert); Admiral Jacky Fisher (a respected naval officer and the father of the Dreadnought, the first battleship and a key weapon in WWI); and William D'Arcy (Australian mining magnate who founded the oil industry in Persia).
  • Story has many crosscurrents and themes and includes romance, tragic love entanglements, suicides, war – all against the backdrop of northern Queensland, Persia (modern Iran), WW1 and Gallipoli.
