The Australian Sandstone Series Boxset: Books 1-3

John Leary, a skilful carpenter, rises to prominence with unparalleled swiftness, thanks to his skill, unyielding work ethic, and the labour shortage sparked by the Gold Rush. Set against the backdrop of a thriving town, John’s ambition knows no bounds as he ascends the ranks of the building trade. Witness his relentless pursuit to establish his construction empire, achieving his dream of owning a company.

As the town evolves into a city, the building industry becomes a poignant metaphor for Sydney’s dynamic growth, reflecting a blend of squalor and grandeur, corruption, and lofty ideals. John’s insatiable ambition propels him on a ruthless quest to become the biggest and the best, intertwining his fate with the destiny of the burgeoning metropolis.
