Sam Vincent is a twenty-something writer in the inner suburbs, scrabbling to make ends meet, when he gets a call from his mother: his father has stuck his hand in a woodchipper, but ‘not to worry–it wasn’t like that scene in Fargo or anything’. When Sam returns to the family farm to help out, his life takes a new and unexpected direction.

Chinese commandos in a lightning raid have seized the vast, under-populated, resource-rich lands of Northern Australia. Thousands of Australian soldiers are held hostage.

In 2012, combat engineer Curtis McGrath was serving in the Australian army in Afghanistan when, in the line of duty, he stepped on a mine. Seriously injured but still conscious and aware he'd bleed out and die within minutes, McGrath, as the unit's chief first-aid officer, directed his comrades to apply tourniquets and administer an IV and morphine. Then, as he was stretchered to a helicopter, fearing he would never see his family again, he joked that he planned to become a Paralympian.

The Contention book series is based on the world of horse racing and will intoxicate listeners who love adventure, sport, crime, and mystery. It will even capture lovers of romance. Its a mixture of the TV series Dallas and Yellowstone. Book one, Contention, introduces Logan Weston, a down-on-his-luck Australian racehorse trainer who can't seem to catch a break. Angus Masters, his arrogant training archrival born with a silver spoon in his mouth, has kicked Logan in the guts one too many times.

Isolated in the Aussie outback with his best mate Nugget, Nugget's sister Mel (who he definitely did not have a thing with), Mel's new latte-sipping boyfriend, and a British backpacker, why isn’t Keat panicked? Because, Keat’s a gamer. And as any gamer knows, there’s always a way to power level. (Also...because he has a giant wombat).

Forces are converging on Batemans Bay, Keat's hometown. A new alien threat from beyond the stars. The marshalled forces of Sydney, led by the Land Baron. The unconquerable mobile dungeon of Staggerhome, and a mysterious assassin taking out Keat's former classmates one by one.

Family doctors face numerous challenges, from emerging ones like social media influencers through to age-old problems like finding more time in the day. In this book, Dr. Christopher Timms outlines the challenges a modern primary-care physician in Australia faces, in pursuit of being an awesome GP.

Well-known current affairs investigator David Chase, nick-named 'the axe' from popular segment 'Cut to the Chase,' has been on the tail of a murderer who was released from jail after killing a man but who claims he was a wolf man at the time. A good old-fashioned right-wing 'moral outrage sensationalist' field-operative, Chase doesn't like what he sees happening to the news world around him—especially at his long-standing conservative TV Network, CNT (we missed 'u'), which, under the spinning eye of Veronica Fox, is reverting to myth making, 'false facts' and disinformation.

Keat’s team needs a rogue, and Morgan Canciani just walked her designer heels into town. She says Cairns has a Nine Pillar Dungeon. She says that the Sheriff has the city hostage, along with her sister. Morgan always said a lot of things. Nugget doesn’t trust her. Mel wants to kick her butt. Trev has a bad feeling in his gut...but he might just need more fiber. Ride out again with the Gap Year Six on an epic journey from Broken Hill to tropical Cairns. Faced with their greatest challenge, the Gap Year Six must decide: Who can they trust in the Aussie Mana Apocalypse?

Clapped in irons and debuffed back to level one, Keat Walker is thrown in the Eureka Stockade dungeon. But they'll find out that when he's stripped of his powers, he's the most dangerous he's ever been. In Broken Hill, the Gap Year Six are under siege. The Five Scoundrels, an alien mercenary force, gives them an ultimatum. Hand over Broken Hill, or be broken. From the West, a monster horde swells out of the desert, cane toad goblins, ogres, and worse. No leader, no army, and facing impossible odds, the Gap Year Six has one message for the invaders.

Here is a collection of joined-up stories for these disjointed times, for the exiled and the out-of-place.

Throughout the '60s, the duo collaborated on no fewer than six indelible classics of the cult cinema circuit, which today are known to horror fans as part of “Poe Cycle” by American International Pictures (AIP).
