Synopsis

A stolen plane. A crash in the snowbound Himalayas. Four strangers are rescued and brought to Shangri-La—a hidden monastery nestled in a remote valley where time seems to slow and peace reigns eternal. For Hugh Conway, a weary British diplomat, this mysterious haven offers a chance to rediscover purpose in a world torn by war and unrest. But as the secrets of Shangri-La begin to unfold, Conway must face an impossible choice: remain in paradise or return to a world in turmoil.First published in 1933, Lost Horizon is the timeless novel that introduced the world to the myth of Shangri-La. A profound tale of escape, wonder, and philosophical discovery, James Hilton’s classic continues to enchant readers in search of meaning, serenity, and the possibility of a hidden utopia.James Hilton (9 September 1900 – 20 December 1954) was a British-American novelist and screenwriter. He is best remembered for his novels Lost Horizon, Goodbye, Mr. Chips and Random Harvest, as well as co-writing screenplays for the films Camille (1936) and Mrs. Miniver (1942), the latter earning him an Academy Award.

    A small garrison of Australian soldiers is left to defend a town and its people against the might of the Japanese forces. This is a story of those who were left behind and those who waited for them to return. 
    *** 
    In early 1940, Bud joins the United States Navy, his aim, to become a US Submariner. Less than two years later, Japanese forces bomb Pearl Harbour. Those living on the islands of New Guinea lie directly in the path of the oncoming enemy. 
     
    In Rabaul, Joanie prepares to depart, leaving behind her fiancée, those who she loves and many who she has become friends with. As the volcano Tavurvur gathers its forces and bursts forth from its crater, the ill-equipped, small Australian defence known as Lark Force is left to secure the small town. Overwhelmed by the large enemy forces, the order is given, ‘every man for themselves.’ Although some will survive, 1053 men lose their lives when a US Submarine sinks the POW Japanese ship, Montevideo Maru. The seeds of destiny are sown and the lives of the American submariner, Bud, and those in Rabaul, intrinsically linked. 
     
    Will Michael return to fulfil his promise of marrying Joanie and what will be the fate of his young daughter, Gracie, who still turns to the evening star for guidance, for her questions to be answered, and above all to be reunited with her father. 
     
    Until We Meet is an epic saga, based on actual events that continues the story of Elizabeth’s Star. A tale of survival, love and family, set amidst the backdrop of World War II.

    Sequel to Divided Within
    In a universe fractured by political corruption, experimental technology, and alien life forms, Commander Izaak has tried to leave his life of command behind. But some battles don't end on the Nullands, and he doesn't know any other way to survive than by fighting.
    Years earlier, Izaak Van Tassel was branded a criminal and sentenced to the First Fighters to serve out his term. Now, finally free, he prepares to leave that life behind -- but not alone. Accompanying him are three people who shape his world.
    Vincent, his lover, is temperamental, fiercely protective, and jealous of anyone who interacts with Izaak. Their relationship is mutual, built on recognition of each other's emotional and physical presence, though the future remains uncertain. Vincent also harbors a deep dislike for Tarn.
    Tarn is Izaak's closest operative and field companion, their bond forged through years of trust, respect, and professional understanding. Tarn is fiercely loyal and protective of Izaak, and their relationship carries an undercurrent of personal care beyond duty. Their first mission together had sent them to a windy, distant planet to rescue a doomed exploration team, a mission that shaped their lives and defined their bonds.
    Calvin, Tarn's lover, is young and earnest, a protégé figure who admires Izaak both professionally and personally. Less experienced and often in awe, he is closely watched over by Tarn, leaving Izaak to balance mentorship with leadership.
    But when an accident in space splits the group, Izaak finds himself stranded on a crippled ship with Calvin, while Tarn, struggling with failing health, must manage the volatile Vincent and navigate the treacherous corridors of the space station Seven Sisters. As tensions mount and loyalties are tested, Izaak uncovers a connection between their current crisis and that first fateful mission, forcing him to confront both the ghosts of the past and the uncertain future of those he cares for most.
