y separately published work icon Aussie Impasse Kevin Johnson , Australia : Kevin Johnson , 2019 17359652 2019 single work novel science fiction fantasy

'This is the third book of a trilogy. The first was Aussie Pilot; the second, Aussie Knowhow; and now the final book of the series, Aussie Impasse. All books are pure fantasy and include some spectacular deductions, magic, science fiction, and illusionary events that many young Australian boys dreamed of well past the time they reached maturity. The merged happenings in most instances were created by other writers, films, or television exposures and were strung together to form the fictitious, exciting life of a hero and his friends. As previously stated, the book has been growing in the writer's head since he was an adolescent and, over time, has been progressively added to, regurgitated, and reinvented. As the writer discovered them, they became merged until now, where it would seem they are no longer recognizable. The third book of the series is the end of the need to complete the story and hopefully to conclude an enjoyable reading experience-a mental escape, perhaps even a pleasing fantasy, for the patient and forgiving readers that inexplicably discovered this work. It is my sincere hope that when you all close the last page, you will have a pleasant smile on the face and will quietly say, "That was a satisfying read. I quite enjoyed the entire journey." Again, my heartfelt thanks to my wife, Judy; my children Michelle, Vanessa, and David; and their children Matthew, Benjamin, Finn, Aislinn, Caelan, Neve, and Taya for providing the encouragement, support, and love that I needed so much to make me finish what I just had to start. So book 3 begins.'  (Publication summary)
