Discover AFGHANI, a powerful journey across time where two worlds collide in unexpected ways. When young Australian soldier Patterson finds himself thrust into the chaos of modern Afghanistan, he never imagines how deeply his story mirrors that of George Sher Gul, an Afghan cameleer who braved Australia’s unforgiving outback a century earlier.This isn’t just another war novel. Through Patterson’s eyes, you’ll experience the raw, unfiltered reality of Australia’s longest military engagement-where idealism crumbles against the harsh landscape of conflict and corruption. Meanwhile, travel back to 19th century Australia where Sher Gul navigates the complex terrain of a new country still defining itself, bringing his essential skills to a land that both needs and rejects him.I’m a goddamned Cameleer, and there’s nothing more to it! Sher Gul’s powerful declaration echoes across generations, reminding us of the forgotten pioneers who helped build Australia while facing the bitter sting of exclusion under White Australia policies.Between breathtaking descriptions of Afghanistan’s demonic and razor-sharp craggy edges and the sun-scorched Australian outback, Brendon Patrick weaves a tale that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about both nations’ shared history.As a retired Australian soldier and veteran of Afghanistan who also descends from the very Afghan Muslim Cameleers he writes about, which brings an unparalleled authenticity to this narrative. His unique perspective bridges cultures and centuries, revealing how war leaves its mark on souls across time and how resilience shines even in humanity’s darkest moments.Perfect for readers who crave historical fiction with contemporary relevance, AFGHANI challenges, enlightens, and ultimately reminds us that the stories we forget are often the ones we most need to remember.Officially launching in August 2025, and available through all major online retailers, pre-order your journey across time and culture today.
