Field of Thunder is a work of historical fiction and high adventure
based primarily on the exploits of Lewis Lasseter, a prospector and
explorer who in the early 1930s held Australia and much of the world
enthralled.
He had recounted the tale of having discovered a fabulous reef of near-
pure gold in the central australian desert some thirty years before and
thereby caught the attention of a nation.
Day by day the media of the period followed the progress of the best
equipped expedition ever to enter central australia as it sought to
relocate the reef. The unfolding gloom of the Great Depression was
briefly forgotten in favour of Lasseter, the Robin Hood of the day, as
he and the expedition sought to relocate this fabulous treasure.
