Return to Lemuria Richard Gradner
Billy Bayer is taken prisoner by the descendants of the Lemurian civilisation after conspiring against his mob-boss. He is taught how to tap into his extra-sensory powers and his life changes forever. This newfound power gives Billy the courage to confront his captors and challenge their age-old ideals.
Together with his crew of loyal companions, he devises a plan to thwart the organisation’s very existence. But how can one man stand up to a 12,000-year old prophecy that predicts adversity for all mankind?
The answer is hidden deep in the Brazilian Amazonia with anthropologist Dr David Steel, who, together with the FUNAI Foundation, is on a mission to save the endangered tribes from persecution. It’s his research that appears to contain the key to the survival of the human race.

Sink: Old Man's Tale Perrin Briar
A sinkhole is a natural phenomenon. It can happen anywhere, anytime. It drinks lakes dry, consumes jungles, and even demolishes entire mountains. You may have seen one in your street. But these things aren't lost. They've simply been moved. Things are forgotten on the surface all the time. Beneath the crust, they're always remembered.
It's just another day for unscrupulous developer Graham Turner when he breaks into an old man's home to steal his property deeds. But when he's sucked through a sinkhole into a forgotten world deep beneath the earth's surface, Graham and the old man must rely on each other if they are to survive and escape this dangerous new world and return to the surface.
Sink. A forgotten world. A lost world. But not for long.

Whispering Willows Patty Jansen
Friends and family on the farm know that Loesie makes up most of the things she says about magic. So the one time she tells the truth, they don't believe her.
Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!
