Al Haines "In the Grip of the Hawk: A Story of the Maori Wars" by Reginald Horsley is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set amid the backdrop of the tumultuous Maori Wars, focusing on the complexities of the conflicts between Maori tribes and the colonial settlers, particularly highlighting the character of George Haughton, a young Englishman seeking his own path while entangled in these historical events. The opening of the story introduces George Haughton, who has just left home following a confrontation with his father regarding his future. Upon deciding to enlist with a regiment going to New Zealand, he embarks on an adventurous journey, where he is guided by his loyal friend, Terence Moore. The narrative quickly immerses the reader in George's personal turmoil and friendships, paralleling it with the brewing conflict that looms due to the unrest among the Maori tribes, fueled by a new, radical movement led by Te Kooti.
