Enduring Deception
|
It is November 1941, and while war rages in Europe, a chance encounter in far away Australia for the warship HMAS Sydney is about to jeopardise the fate of the free world. US Special Agent Graham Palmer, newly arrived in a strange land down under, knows only too well thegravity of his mission - a mission to protect a great secret, regardless of the cost. But no one can foresee the price of his success, a price to be paid by ordinary men that will surely demand an Enduring Deception. Enduring Deception is the first fictionalised account of Australia’s greatest unsolved maritime mystery, the loss of HMAS Sydney II with all 645 crew in a battle with the German merchant raider the Kormoran in 1941. "Manning revisits a couple of popular 'conspiracy theories' and creates a few of his own to paint a scenario as disturbing as it is enthralling."

Let the Angels Sing in Hell
|
A story of betrayal , courage and self-determination. Nigel Bedford has been extremely open in telling his story, in particular the leadup to his sexual abuse as a youngster and the dreams and nightmares that followed. These gripping incidents have been graphically outlined throughout this book. The authors use of prose is persuasive, there are times he lulls you into a false sense of security by giving you a humerous account of events. Then suddenly confronts you with an emotional bombshell that's guaranteed to send you reeling in the opposite direction. This book is the most compelling in it's genre to date, it's confronting and thought provoking as it challenges religious and social mores. Nigel has written an honest but I feel unintentional insight into the lifelong effects of an abusive childhood. |
