He's been expelled from Syria on suspicion of terrorism, encountered Osama bin Laden in a Tehran bazaar, been dragged from the Hungarian parliament in handcuffs and interviewed with the editor-in-chief of al-Jazeera, all during a remarkable two-year journey by wheelchair across Eurasia. Walkley Award-winning journalist Ken Haley s travels take in 41 countries and, post-September 11, turn him into an eyewitness to the war on terror from the other side of the frontline. In Emails from the Edge he portrays life in the Middle East as it really is, not as the media portray it, and draws an intriguing parallel with his own life. With great humour, and not a hint of sentimentality, he lays bare his darkest times, when he plunged over the precipice into madness, and reveals the wanderlust that led him to the heart of the world s hot spots. Few have written so well about their own descent into insanity, a world at war and the beauty of travel.

<p>Sydney, 2020 the city of water . Alice s life is about to change in ways she could never have imagined. Alice, or Eve as she was once known, is hired to expose Eternity, the cult that was founded outside the small desert town where she was born. With Drew, the boy from upstairs, who may be spying on her or watching over her, she begins a dream-like road trip into the dead heart of Australia where the past unravels into the future with exhilarating speed. Why did her sister Lucy leave her and what is it that happened between them? Who was her mother? Questions are asked. Their answers haunt and unsettle. At its heart The Asking Game drives us to ask ourselves who we really are. Childhood, sibling rivalry, science and identity are all explored in a bold, tautly woven debut a stylish thriller with literary sensibilities . If you re addicted to psychological thrillers or speculative fiction, or if you loved The Time Traveller s Wife for its sharp psychological truths and complex emotions, you ll want to read The Asking Game. The Asking Game is serious play an interrogation of realism and the real, of the rip tide of memory, of the riddle of identity in writing that is lyrical, edgy, intellectually provocative, and sly.

<p>Road Series is both love story and elegy, a true and revealing tale. Renowned musician Hugo Race’s evocations of Melbourne, Europe and the USA, Berlin and Eastern Europe, Italy, Brazil and Mali and Africa are poetic and searching , always incisive and exquisitely written. While the idea of being a global citizen is explored as a creative force for the artist, this is ultimately a book that is grounded in the rich possibilities of the everyday. Music and travel collide and coalesce, and the reader is given rare insights into what it means to devote one’s lifeÂ to the musical journey, to traverse the world in search of true spirit. While Road Series parallels Kerouac’s journey of ‘battered suitcases’ and ‘longer ways to go’ it also wonderfully bears witness to his realisation that ‘the road is life’.\nPraise for Road Series\nRollicking and lilting, Hugo Race’s vagabond road-poem does not read like a typical rock star’s memoir – the obligatory nostalgia, the fondly remembered tales of excess though Race was no stranger to excess. Rather, those qualities which made him a cerebral musician, always seeking the borderlands and beyond, are harnessed inÂ Road SeriesÂ into an insightful account of a restless life on the road, on the move, across decades and continents, from the Melbourne punk scene of the early 1980s to – quite literally – Timbuktu.\n-- Luke Daviess, author of Candy and God of Speed\nHugo writes with a unique voice and the insights of one in the middle of the maelstrom.\n-- Mick Harvey</p>
