’Told with heart and vibrant energy, A Dangerous Land is action packed and brimming with love. Marisa Jones’ debut deftly combines the sweetest romance with the tough realities of war, colonialism and racism. Amelia and Daniel leap from the page. Jones is a next-gen Belinda Alexandra.’ KIM KELLY, author of This Red Earth.New Guinea, 1941Australian aviatrix Amelia McKenzie’s love for her Pacific Island home of New Guinea is as strong as her love for Daniel, a mixed-race pilot her parents disapprove of. Lucky for her parents, the Pacific War is looming and women are being evacuated to Australia, forcing Amelia to leave Daniel behind.  Rejected by the Australian Army because of his colour, Daniel must find a way to defend his home from Japanese invasion and is willing to do whatever it takes. Meanwhile, Amelia is torn between her love for Daniel, her family and her country. She refuses to leave but when the Japanese attack their town, Amelia and Daniel suddenly become trapped and must separate. They embark on harrowing treks across New Guinea’s remote jungles, including the notorious Kokoda Trail - facing treacherous mountains, tribal warfare and the threat of the Japanese lurking around every bend. They soon realise it’s not just the war that’s keeping them apart, and that they must fight harder to be together. But even the toughest fights require sacrifice. Are they willing to give up everything they know to find a way back to each other?   For fans of Natasha Lester and Sara Ackerman comes this World War Two historical novel based on true events from the Pacific War in New Guinea.
