E.V. Thompson Omnibus by E V Thompson
SOMEWHERE A BIRD IS SINGING Sally is an orphan living in Plymouth's Barbican, where a vile trade flourishes in young girls, duped and shipped off to the brothels of Europe. She finds employment delivering wares for a local shop, meeting fisherman Ethan and Eva, a Salvation Army captain, who has dedicated her life to rescuing the endangered girls. When Ethan, his father and brothers are reported missing at sea on a fishing ship, Sally volunteers to help Eva's crusade - with near disastrous results.

The son of Josh and Miriam Retallick, he settles with his wife and children in a valley of Matabeleland. But the years are the 1880s, and the Matabele impis are advancing with their singing spears towards the death-dealing Maxim guns of the white man. Daniel Retallick's loyalties, plans and dreams are about to be swept by fate into the whirlpool of history...
