    In February 1998, in South Kensington, London the death occurred, unremarked, of 75-year-old retired taxi driver David Stewart Dawson. This was the same David who, fifty years earlier in Australia had inherited a life of privilege and luxury, lived at Sydney's best addresses, married two beautiful women, then lost it all in scandal and shame. In 1849 his grandfather and namesake was born on a farm in Scotland in relative poverty. In the next 150 years, an Australian dynasty was founded and foundered, a fortune built and squandered, the family name became an international byword for style and luxury, only to fade from memory in less than a generation. This is the story of the Stewart Dawsons: watchmakers and jewellers, Australian pioneers of Jazz Age popular culture and entertainment, property tycoons and philanthropists, who counted stars of stage and screen, earls and princes among their connections. It's also a story of marital duplicity and deception, hubris and abuse of privilege, hedonism, fraud, and criminal violence leaving a trail of victims and damaged lives, where there were few happy endings.

    Fifteen-year-old Jack McHale has an idyllic life. He surfs daily off Newport Beach, where he lives in a comfortable home with his career-driven parents and his two brothers. A dreamer and a writer, it's their shared passion for music that draws Jack closest to his father. In '89, when his parents split up, it's Jack who's hit hardest. How could his father abandon them like this? Jack's a talented surfer. It's his escape. He's not interested in competing at a high level like his two brothers. But when Jack ignores his absent father's safety instructions, and a solo surfing expedition goes dangerously wrong, Jack discovers just how unshakeable his bond with his brothers will always be.

    THE VIETNAM WAR ROCKED AUSTRALIA TO ITS CORE...The Third Chopstick transports us back to those days. In starkly beautiful prose Biff Ward, herself a protester, seeks to understand the war from multiple angles. She balances the heartfelt motivations of the protest movement with candid accounts from veterans about what was happening for them in Vietnam and afterwards. In riveting interviews, she explores combat, the ravages of PTSD, and the acceptance that can come with ageing and peer support.She also takes us to the peaceful Vietnam of the post-war years, capturing poignant images of the aftermath of what they, of course, call the American War. Her lyrical evocation of the people she meets and war sites she visits render the war in a new light. The Third Chopstick is the profoundly moving story of one woman''s passion to bear tender witness to those involved in that tumultuous time. A must-read for all the Vietnam generation, their descendants and friends.Peter Yule, author of The Long Shadow, said, I have been studying the impact of the war on the lives of Vietnam veterans for many years and I learnt more from this book than any other I have read.

    Intelligencers: men and women from all walks of life and from all sections of society, servants of the Crown who work for the Home Office gathering information vital to the security of the nation.London, 1855. While Great Britain is at war with the Russians in the Crimea, a cadre of disaffected seditionists and insurrectionists, made up of members of the aristocracy and wealthy industrialists, have set a plan into action that''s been decades in the making-a plan that aims to overthrow the Queen and to install a puppet king on the throne in her place. With the war raging and disquiet in the industrial north and in Ireland, their perfidious plot, unless stopped, threatens to bring about anarchy and revolution.Aware of the imminent danger, Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, has tasked The Brothers, a band of four men, friends of over twenty years, to root out the source of the infection, destroy the clique, and track down and eradicate its foreign pretender by any means necessary. From molly houses to state banquets, from hospitals to steam baths, from aristocratic households to the meanest of slums, the friends find themselves in a succession of increasingly perilous situations.Like the mighty Thames, undercurrents flow swift and deep as they uncover plot after plot and treachery and treason in abundance.

    Be careful what you wish for. Feeling progressively more and more disillusioned with his actual reality, Will revels in escapism. Of course, he never expected to wake up one day and find that he had actually been summoned to another world! Essentially shanghaied into performing an absurdly difficult task that would have perfectly suited one of the fantasy epics that he used to love reading, Will is in trouble. After all, the common sense of his old world doesn''t really apply in a reality where magic, beastfolk-type demi-humans, and literal monsters are considered just a part of everyday life. If he doesn''t get up to speed fast, and find some people he can trust as he flounders around crippled by his sense of inadequacy, he''s going to end up deader than dial-up. Still, if this is an epic fantasy story, and he is supposed to be a hero, he must be a main protagonist ... so ... no matter the odds, if he doesn''t give up, everything should turn out fine ... Unfortunately, convincing himself of that is an epic task all of its own. With the fate of a world literally cracking apart at the seams hanging in the balance, it''s going to take skill, grit, and a whole lot of luck to succeed ... but one out of three isn''t so bad when starting out, right?
