Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All refugees welcome in Australia! In 2023, Australia reversed its closed border policy and said to the world: ‘Welcome! You are free to come to Australia, but you must spend the first seven years in the Temporary Citizenship Zone around the Ord River.’ Seven years later, Ord City is a teeming Asian metropolis with 2.5 million people preparing for the First Wave – the first tranche of refugees gaining full citizenship – on Australia Day 2030. But mainstream Australia is passionately divided over Ord City, not least because of the risk of letting in terrorists, and dark political forces are bubbling to the surface. Agent Conan Tooley is sent up to Ord City to look into a routine gangland murder, but finds himself frustrated and confused by the questions that arise at every step. As the days to the First Wave count down, Conan encounters any number of people throwing up obstacles, including The Army of God (a Christian charity active in Ord City); a carload of young people travelling to Ord City for the Illumination Festival the night before the First Wave; and Asif, a deep cell terrorist with a deadly mission. There is also the Shadow Group – mysterious figures who seem to be pulling strings at high levels to achieve some hidden purpose. As the various subplots wind towards the explosive conclusion, the motives and values of all are profoundly challenged. Welcome to Ord City is a satirical crime thriller set against the backdrop of Australia’s refugee policy and the malleable populism that characterises the Lucky Country in the C21.

Book excerpt: Many of us have had the occasional vague suspicion that the universe is not just a massive vacuum with a few specks of burning hydrogen here and there. We also have our doubts about the various ‘truths’ we are told at school, or at work, regarding the nature of reality and the power systems which underpin our world. Especially as this ‘truth’ appears to have been created to serve the wealthy and powerful. Some are prepared to fight – to lay down their lives if necessary for the one chance to reveal the lies lurking behind the so-called 'truth'. Not Mitch Kuiper though: a man of simple tastes and little ambition, who would rather drink beer and watch sport with his best mate Cam than involve himself in the struggle. Unfortunately, fate has other plans for Mitch as he finds himself drawn into a galactic war in which he has become a key player. 'Another imaginative Adrian Deans’ rollercoaster ride on an extra-terrestrial scale.' Peter Goldsworthy AM (Maestro; Honk If You Are Jesus)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1968 Democratic Convention, best known for police brutality against demonstrators, has been relegated to a dark place in American historical memory. Battleground Chicago ventures beyond the stereotypical image of rioting protestors and violent cops to reevaluate exactly how—and why—the police attacked antiwar activists at the convention. Working from interviews with eighty former Chicago police officers who were on the scene, Frank Kusch uncovers the other side of the story of ’68, deepening our understanding of a turbulent decade. “Frank Kusch’s compelling account of the clash between Mayor Richard Daley’s men in blue and anti-war rebels reveals why the 1960s was such a painful era for many Americans. . . . to his great credit, [Kusch] allows ‘the pigs’ to speak up for themselves.”—Michael Kazin “Kusch’s history of white Chicago policemen and the 1968 Democratic National Convention is a solid addition to a growing literature on the cultural sensibility and political perspective of the conservative white working class in the last third of the twentieth century.”—David Farber, Journal of American History

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether focused on flower gardens, street crime, or aesthetic conformity, urban block clubs are unusual quasi-institutions that can establish or maintain a neighborhood s appearance, social dynamics, and quality of life. But what is a block club? And how does it function? Is it a definable institution, with codifiable practices and expectations, or is it merely an assemblage of like-minded citizens who happen to live near one another? What makes one such group effective and long-lasting, while most evaporate after a few years of communal activity? These are some of the questions that Amanda Seligman addresses in her deeply researched study."
