A fascinating and highly insightful look at the revolution that brought Suharto to power in Indonesia, written by a former Australian intelligence agent who was there at the time. Many of Merdeka Square's more controversial assertions, including those about the American role in this revolution, have recently been borne out by the recent release of previously classified State Department papers.

Indonesia post-Soeharto: The new military government hits overdrive with ambitious plans to construct state of the art nuclear power stations in Java and Bali. But will it stop there, or will Indonesia's burgeoning nuclear potential expose the unstable region to a terrifying arms race? How will the powerful Lim family gain from the installation of the nuclear reactors, and what is the mysterious Bartlett's treacherous game? When events spin out of control, only Michael Bradshaw can prevent global disaster. In Jakarta, which completes his popular Indonesia trilogy, Kerry Collison takes us into a dangerous and corrupt world of high finance and global politics.

Jakarta (Indonesian Trilogy)

Contemporary

In the aftermath of Indonesia's economic collapse, Chinese women are targeted by the President's son-in-law's reckless, and brutal Special Forces. In an evolving Islamic climate, anti-Chinese sentiment drives the country to the brink of collapse as international interest is heightened by factual, photojournalist accounts, of true stories of survival. Given extra urgency by recent events, The Fifth Season predicted the Indonesian economic collapse and subsequent religious and political upheaval as well as links between Indonesian and Islamic extremist groups. A fascinating and eerily prescient look at recent and on-going events that must be read.

Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Mystery

<p>At a time when Australians are wavering in support of a proposed US-led invasion of Iraq, more than six hundred US Marines rotating on R & R in Bali suddenly disappear; then, Kuta erupts in a fireball and Australia falls into line with America's demand to become part of the 'Coalition of the Willing'. Based on indisputable fact, a step by step account of the Bali bombers, the rise of extremist Islamic militancy across Asia and what the future might hold when terror is unleashed on Australia's doorstep, 'Crescent Moon Rising' relates the rise of militant Islam across Asia and how the US and other foreign intelligence agencies missed opportunities to arrest not only the instigators of the September 11 attacks on the USA but also those who created the Jemaah Islamiyah and carried out the Bali bombings. The Bojinka Plot is uncovered in Manila but the US ridicules the contents found on a white Toshiba laptop discovered after an apartment fire. The computer files lay out an assassination plot against the Pope who would visit that week, and the detailed plan to hijack 11 aircraft and crash these into the World Trade Towers and other US targets. The timing of this event was January 1995.</p>
