'Could one woman stop political corruption and start true democracy? Feisty Jane Kenwood is a strong woman councillor and popular public figure in Alexandra City, Southland.
Her debating skills are legendary.
 
She is independent and vociferously opposed to a megacasino proposal. When the Council becomes hung, her vote is critical. She disappears and her colleague and friend, Dr Phillip Keane, a forensic scientist, investigates with the help of her zany friends and a novel forensic method.

Will they find her alive? Will she recover? Will they be able to stop the casino?  Will she be able to transform the city’s fossilised partisan government into the participative democracy she wants?' (Source: Publisher's blurb)

'How does a man know the rules of relationships with women? He may be a high achieving engineer student, but his relationships with women fail to understand them. Beautiful biology student Vicki is his obsession but she wont pass on "free love" the way Liverpool girl Barbara will. To be invulnerable to females he cant predict, he invests in love with the two girls as a straddle in the commodity. But with each girl behaving nothing like he predicts, how can it result in anything but tragic consequences?' (Publication summary)

'The author stretches forward the raw elements of Australian civilisation: territory, climate and resources, to 250 years in the future, relating them to its populous neighbour Bhakaria. The political situation is tense as the Messianic Aboriginal Prime Minister strives to renew a moribund political party from within. His ban on immigration is opposed by his lover in a tempestuous romance. His ban is also opposed by his political adversary, who gains government, outlaws his party and plans for free immigration. He leads a growing rebel following in an epic struggle to achieve a new lifestyle, with a dramatic climax.

The scene is set in Meannjin, an almost deserted and flooded city. Most of the population has dispersed to self-sufficient rural communes after a century of wars over coal and famine. They are governed by a tiny national government, headed by an Aboriginal dynasty. Abajoe has a rare genetic mutation for sharing and his vision is to unite the devolved and diversified nation by usurping politics and religion by science. He predicts Australia's relationship with Bhakaria by experimenting with a genetically modified animal, the rossit.' Source: Avid Reader e-news 20 July 2011 (Sighted 21/07/2011)
