Black the Night and Wild the Sea is a story of adventure and
intrigue set in the turbulent era of the Australian gold rushes. It
is also a love story between two very different characters: Michael
Byrnes, a warm hearted but roguish Irish adventurer, and Sele
Kanawa, a beautiful and passionate Eurasian missionary. The story
ranges from the wild southern coast of Australia to the jungles of
the Cape York Peninsula and the wild unexplored islands of
Melanesia, where brutal sea captains abducted natives to work as
virtual slave labourers, and missionaries risked their lives to
stop them. It is also a tale of a woman torn between her love for
God and the work she feels called to do, and her love for a man
determined to make his fortune. Vincent Smith grew up in an
industrial town in England and moved to Australia when he was
sixteen. It was then that he fell under the spell of the islands of
the South West Pacific and their turbulent history. For the past
half century he has served as a minister and chaplain to the
Australian army, police and emergency services; some of it in the
places where this story is set
