Phoenix Ravaush of the Ravaulsh international conglomerate always stood heroic, believing in helping people and achieving the beauty of their dreams; however, he desperately tried to understand his own. It is an ever-changing world in the year 2078, with his corporation outsourcing to the outer colonies. He is the son of Dashal Ravalaush, chief researcher of a revolutionary power source for humankind, which has reached to the stars in colonizing worlds and advancing space travel. Unbeknownst to him, Dashal has him imbued with the DNA cells of Executive General Raijathos, a mysterious, dark, ethereal creature who transmuted his blood to protect all of creation, and has now become holy and, furthermore, absolutely righteous, fighting for honor and to end evil at all costs. The mysteries continue to develop: Who exactly is Raijathos? How does he have knowledge of humanity? Dashal meticulously studied Raijathos and embedded his cells into his son to promise the gift of his legacy to protect him. The visionary also has a secret hidden in the stars: an entire planet belonging to the gods of light, the Senethria. Agreeing to human colonization on their world, they are an ever-peaceful race once in balance with the godlike beasts of dark, the Densargathos. The balance was disrupted when the nefarious D'vegnegoth militia broke off from the Densargathos as a rogue fraction. The Geasstrial resistance has sworn an oath to protect all innocent life forms of the universe from this all-consuming, power-grasping enemy. Meanwhile, the leader of the resistance, the most valorous Jaullade Saungliar, and Raijathos dance with destiny, along with his human form of Phoenix due to their unbreakable blood bond. As the saga unfolds, Phoenix must confront and come to terms with his inevitable destiny as Raijathos, meeting gripping allies along the way, such as Jaullade and the Geastrial, in addition to confronting a series of absolutely hellacious villains, including a most devilish mastermind, the likes of which none have ever known. Shocking revelations will pass and closure to his destiny will prevail; however, Phoenix will realize at the end and at the heart of it all the cataclysmic thunder will strike as he prepares himself for the unimaginably daunting journey at hand . . .

With wit, humour and a good deal of self-deprecation, Dr Ross James reflects on 40 years of living and working internationally. Ross is a story teller who draws on personal journals and correspondence to tell the story of what happened after he left a family funeral business and yielded to the leading of Providence.\nRoss explains an Ascent, a 20-year period of preparation as a journalist, academic and researcher. The ascent of preparation levelled out on the Crest of purpose, what was to be his life's work, motivated by the teachings of Jesus whose life exemplified care for the marginalised and poor. He lived and worked in several Asian countries then relocated to Australia and led initiatives to develop community-centred media projects throughout Asia.\nAfter detailing the Ascent and explaining the Crest, in Perspective Ross reflects on achievements concurrent with clinical depression accompanied by despair and loss of joy. Some excerpts from his personal journals are painful reading; some revelations are vulnerable honesty. Yet, Ross accepts a proposition that depression might have been a 'gift of a handicap' which compelled him to depend on Providence to overcome his limitations. His startling conclusion is that he is, after all, a bamboo camel, designed with specifications to fulfil a providential purpose.\nThis is neither a book on Christian mission or depression nor a devotional about a victorious Christian life. It is a memoir, a truly authentic reflection of someone's dependence on Providence to maintain a steadfast life lived in response to circumstances that few are called upon to endure.
