Download or read book Bonza Voyage written by John Watters and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-08-21 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life seemed quite straight forward for John Watters; finish school, do a degree and get a job. Then, one day, he read about a country with so much space that nuclear explosions occasionally take place in the middle of it and nobody really notices. Immediately, his adventurous soul had been released. Obtaining a job deep in the isolated Australian Bush, John attempts to explore the country from the inside out: first as a native, then as a tourist. From this perspective he is able to portray the real Australia with truly hilarious consequences before joining his fellow backpackers on a bus journey pilgrimage along the country's eastern coast. With a heart-stopping skydive over The Great Barrier Reef, a close encounter with a crocodile, a humorous day out in the bizarre world of Aussie Rules football, and some of the most extravagantly exuberant characters on the planet providing a magnificent stage, Bonza Voyage truly captures the enchanting spirit of the long distant traveller.

Download or read book A Singapore Fling written by Peter Broadbent and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having survived the notorious Training Establishment HMS Ganges and ‘cut his teeth' onboard HMS Bermuda, Peter Broadbent believed that he was equipped for anything the Royal Navy could throw at him. For 18 incident-filled months (1962-64) he ‘did his bit' onboard HMS Lincoln caught up in the Malaysian Crisis, on the other side of the world. For the young sailor, this meant visiting every corner of the Far East from Singapore, Hong Kong and Osaka, to Manila, Sandakan and Lankawi. The nature of the Crisis seemed to pass him by, as he was more interested in acquiring a suntan, picnicking on sandy beaches, buying his first pair of flip-flops, exploring Bugis Street, downing bottles of Tiger beer, and avoiding the clutches of ‘Suzie Right’, ‘Calamity Jayne’ and a girl with bad teeth known as ‘Piano’. Along the way, he crossed the equator, qualified as an AB, tasted his first rum ration, manned a Kumpit Boarding Party in search of enemy vessels, and spent a week tramping through the jungle with the Gurkhas. His return to the UK coincided with the appearance on the streets of that design classic … the mini-skirt. He had just celebrated his twentieth birthday and the girls of the United Kingdom voluntarily hoisted their hemlines in acknowledgment. This engaging and humorous memoir, filled with colourful characters, is every bit as gripping as Peter Broadbent’s previous books, which have garnered excellent reviews.
Download or read book Firstborn written by Arthur C. Clarke and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2008-10-28 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Firstborn–the mysterious race of aliens who first became known to science fiction fans as the builders of the iconic black monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey–have inhabited legendary master of science fiction Sir Arthur C. Clarke’s writing for decades. With Time’s Eye and Sunstorm, the first two books in their acclaimed Time Odyssey series, Clarke and his brilliant co-author Stephen Baxter imagined a near-future in which the Firstborn seek to stop the advance of human civilization by employing a technology indistinguishable from magic. Their first act was the Discontinuity, in which Earth was carved into sections from different eras of history, restitched into a patchwork world, and renamed Mir. Mir’s inhabitants included such notables as Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and United Nations peacekeeper Bisesa Dutt. For reasons unknown to her, Bisesa entered into communication with an alien artifact of inscrutable purpose and godlike power–a power that eventually returned her to Earth. There, she played an instrumental role in humanity’s race against time to stop a doomsday event: a massive solar storm triggered by the alien Firstborn designed to eradicate all life from the planet. That fate was averted at an inconceivable price. Now, twenty-seven years later, the Firstborn are back. This time, they are pulling no punches: They have sent a “quantum bomb.” Speeding toward Earth, it is a device that human scientists can barely comprehend, that cannot be stopped or destroyed–and one that will obliterate Earth. Bisesa’s desperate quest for answers sends her first to Mars and then to Mir, which is itself threatened with extinction. The end seems inevitable. But as shocking new insights emerge into the nature of the Firstborn and their chilling plans for mankind, an unexpected ally appears from light-years away.
