Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Landtakers: The Story of an Epoch' is a drama-genre novel written by Brian Penton. The story opens by introducing us to Derek Cabell, who was glaring around at the ramshackle buildings of the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement. His gesture of impatience, failing even to startle the dog, which slept on with its nose to its tail, or the drowsy horse he had tethered to his boot, only confirmed his deep sense of personal futility.
