Kimberley Trilogy

For freedom's cause is a historical, romantic thriller set in England and Australia between the world wars. It follows the adventures and growing relationship between, a working class English Army Officer, from Manchester, Dan Bevan, and a Melbourne barrister, serving with the Australian Light Horse-Charlie Elliott, who met, by chance, during the First World War and the strong women in their lives. Having survived several of the major battles, both men are so disillusioned with the homes and occupations they return to, that Dan volunteers to suppress the republican rebellion in Ireland and Charlie joins an underground army to stand-up against mob riots in Melbourne. Despite their contrasting social origins and differing views on what form of government is, best for preserving freedom and maintaining civil order, they become firm friends and when, Dan is targeted by vengeful IRA assassins, he accepts Charlie's invitation to escape to Australia, where he, intends settling down peacefully in Melbourne, with the love of his life, who unknown to him has, born him a son. When IRA gunmen pursue him from Melbourne to Perth, he is, forced to flee to a cattle station in the Kimberley where, finally reunited with his wife and son, he confronts his nemesis in that vast and mystical wilderness.

BATTLE FOR THE NORTH reunites the heroes and heroines of For Freedom's Cause-Dan, Charlie, Elspeth Liza and Alice, in frustrating Japanese espionage plots and raids into northern Australia during World War 2. The action takes place in the Kimberley wilderness and celebrates the daring and heroism of mounted North Australian Observer Unit patrols, nicknamed the 'Nackeroos' or 'Curtin's Cowboys.' Following on the bombing of Darwin and Broome, Japanese marine commandos land on the Kimberley coast to establish a foothold and deny the US and Australian Navies a secure refuelling and supply base. In the absence of Australia's regular forces in the Middle East and Singapore, all that stands between them and success is Dan Bevan's and Charlie Elliott's part-time observer patrols, which battle a Japanese special forces unit from Broome to their Kalumburu base and join the fight to push the enemy back into the sea. Whilst Dan and Charlie conduct their guerrilla campaign in the bush, their wives and Lady Elspeth interrupt their war work in Darwin to hunt down a murderous Spy.

An international, religious war has broken out across the Middle East between Sunni and Shia Islamic sects, cutting off all energy supplies from that region. Frustrated by its inability to acquire sufficient energy to power its ever expanding economy, China has invaded Russia, annexing the Siberian oil and gas fields and precipitating World War 3. Cyber warfare has neutralised global defence communications creating a US-China stand-off and the only remaining operational satellite communication base in the Kimberley is threatened by invading Indonesian, special-forces. All that stands in their way is a small Norforce patrol backed by an Aboriginal tribe, whose female leader is intent on avenging the murder of her father, their Elder, and the desecration of their Wandjina guardian. Three strong minded and determined people-the devout Moslem leader of the Indonesian Kopassus force, the MIT trained daughter of an assassinated Aboriginal elder and the middleaged, former SAS, gas platform engineer and part-time leader of the Norforce patrol-strive to contest and impose their conflicting beliefs and loyalties when they compete and clash in a hunt to the death across the harsh but beautiful Kimberley wilderness.
