The year is 1838. The place is Charleston, South Carolina, USA. The country is struggling to recover from the deep financial crisis of the previous year and South Carolina is no different. Vast acreages of rice, cotton, tobacco and indigo disguise the worries of planters as even the wealthiest strive to earn a profit while crop prices plummet. Beautiful, precocious Jenna Leanne Stewart continues to live a sheltered, comfortable existence amidst this economic uncertainty until one spring evening when her stepbrother approaches her with shocking news. His inheritance from her stepfather is gone and he has sold their home to cover his debts. Forsaken by her stepbrother, Jenna has no one to turn to and nowhere to go. With precious little time to evaluate her circumstances, Jenna remains at Warren Oaks to serve the new master. From the onset, Jenna finds Bryce Landon to be as brash and arrogant as he is handsome and charming. As he takes control as master of Warren Oaks, much of the stability lost after her stepfather's death three years earlier returns to the household. But what is his price for providing such peace and security? This story will keep you engrossed throughout Jenna's struggle to find truth, love and happiness.

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.

"Inspired by a lecture she has attended, Regina Stanton, a young journalist, embarks upon a journey through the forces determining contemporary Australian culture. Leaving behind the vestiges of a failed romance, she travels to the Whitsunday Coast in Australia's Queensland where she meets Tyro. She spends five days enjoying the sun and sampling fine wine in her new friend's monsoon forest retreat. Tyro recounts his experiences of life in Papua New Guinea, providing an insightful perspective of the political and social framework of the time. This novel is set in 2015 and offers a disturbing yet thoroughly absorbing view of the future. A benign conspiracy eventually is revealed for overcoming the civil unrest that threatens to tear Australia apart. This is a serious book, but readers will find themselves caught up in its intrinsic humour. They will snicker, giggle and laugh, but will question why this is so. Rednik has provided us with a rollicking good read that is not for those who are challenged by politically incorrect concepts and statements. This is yarn to ride, think about, and enjoy, and dare we say, do some learning and questioning too."

Phillip Knightley, renowned investigative reporter, and twice UK Journalist of the Year, says." Desmond Zwar's career followed the tradition of brash boys from the Australian bush making good in cosmopolitan Fleet Street-alas now the home of bankers and property developers rather than newspapermen. Zwar was there when British journalism was at its best, and from stories about the Queen to film stars, politicians and scandals (lots of those) he confirmed the Fleet Street view that there was no one better able to dig out the real story than an Aussie. This is a funny, engrossing memoir of a golden age."
