On Christmas Eve, 1987, convicted Nazi war criminal, Otto Streikler, escapes from French prison, vowing revenge on American officer, Mitch Carter, and beautiful eighteen-year-old French girl, Renee, who put him there.

Renee is persuaded to spy for MI-6 by a British Lord who is secretly infatuated with her. After conveying covert codes to underground contacts, she is pursued by the Gestapo and caught in a web of intrigue, struggling to avoid capture and fending off sexual attack. Carter, also attached to MI-6, is infiltrated into France to work with the Resistance – and Renee. Renee’s brother, Henri, goes into hiding and forms a cell of the Resistance. Living off the land, dodging German patrols, and surviving by their wits, they are forced to kill and eat almost any small animal that moves. On Christmas Day, 1987, we have violent confrontation and a surprise ending.

Book Description
What happens when all humor is wiped off the face of the Earth? Around the world, an unusual viral plague is striking the population. The virus attacks only one particular section of the brain. It isn’t fatal, but it results in the victim’s sense of humor being obliterated. No one is immune. Elliot Greeley, a young stand-up comedian starving his way through alternative comedy clubs in Los Angeles, isn’t even certain the virus is real at first. But as the pandemic begins to eat away at the very heart of civilization itself, the virus affects Elliot and his close knit group of comedian friends in increasingly personal ways. What would you consider the end of the world? Until the Last Dog Dies is a sharp, cutting satire, both a clever twist on apocalyptic fiction and a poignant look at the things that make us human.

Book Description
This memoir/autobiography celebrates 50 years of Junior Recruit service to our navy. Established in 1960 and decommissioned in 1984 the story follows the life of a 15 year old inducted into the service for twelve years in 1968 and sent to Vietnam on the Vung Tau Ferry (H.M.A.S. Sydney) the following year, then continues his somewhat capricious journey with a hint of mysticism along the way. The Commemorative year of 2010 recognised the contributions made by young teens, many still children, to their country, and is dedicated to the many who didn't survive physically and/or mentally serving at a time when the world was on its own path to perdition.
