With a United States of Europe looming the royal family is in hiding. Britain is at war and hours away from a history defining defeat. What one man knows could reverse everything but he is cut off from the world. Ark MacIntyre is on a secret mission to uncover details of a recent assassination. He doesn't know that there is a deeper reason for his assignment. What he discovers would astonish his employers and the whole world - if only he could tell them. The sovereignty of Great Britain is crumbling at the feet of a corrupt European Union and Macca is on the run - trapped in the Welsh mountains during the worst winter for decades. His only company; the enemy intent on destroying him, his guile, and a bottle of vodka.

A story of action, adventure, and young love is set against the backdrop of a time of great change, as the “peace and love” era of the 1960s gives way to the “freedom revolution” of the 1970s. Sex and drugs and rock and roll? Sure. That and so much more. So much to learn and so fast: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Five teens set adrift in that era experience and absorb everything life throws at them as they traverse that difficult bridge that will take them from mid-teens to young adults. It’s a story today’s teens will find fascinating, and somewhat confronting to think that their parents actually did some of these things. The Fearless Five – Jordie, Jess, Marty, Robbie, and Josh – were about to embark on a life-changing journey. No more little kid stuff; things were getting serious. Set in Tasmania at the end of the swinging sixties, A Journey of Discovery picks up their story as they are about to enter their last year of high school. But it’s outside of school where they gain a real education. The school of life – it’s a great teacher – but unlike school it rarely gives second chances. Stuff up in the real world and the consequences can be brutal. But make the right decisions and the payoff could be huge, as Jordie and Jess through the music they create are about to discover.

The Road To Mecca

Genre: Biography & Autobiography

Part travelogue, part autobiography, "The Road to Mecca" is the compelling story of a Western journalist and adventurer who converted to Islam in the early twentieth century. A spiritual and literary counterpart of Wilfred Thesiger and a contemporary of T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), Muhammad Asad journeyed around the Middle East, Afghanistan and India. This is an account of Asad's adventures in Arabia, his inner awakening, and his relationships with nomads and royalty alike, set in the wake of the First World War. It can be read on many levels: as a eulogy to a lost world, and as the poignant account of a man's search for meaning. It is also a love story, defying convention and steeped in loss. With its evocative descriptions and profound insights on the Islamic world, "The Road to Mecca" is a work of immense value today.
