  Published to commemorate the author’s 100th birthday, this wide-ranging and thoughtful collection reflects on history, colonisation, family, childhood, Aboriginal Dreaming, traditions and storytelling, working lives and people. 
  Sometimes wistful, melancholic, poignant, at times the author’s wry sense of fun and humour shines through. 
  When he arrived in Sydney in the 1960s, Bigambul man, Uncle Wes, was not allowed to tell his stories at schools. He set up a fire bucket in his backyard and invited families and children from the local Aboriginal community to come to sit around the fire and share his stories. It did not take long for the police to arrive and arrest him for hosting an unlawful gathering – he spent two days in lock-up for sharing his stories. 
  Uncle Wes is a living treasure of Aboriginal storytelling wisdom. Through his poems Uncle Wes invites the reader to join him by the fire as he generously shares his reflections and reminiscences on one hundred years. 
  'It is my pleasure to honour Uncle Wes for his work in retaining the age-old storytelling tradition of our people. It is important to maintain this tradition of our Elders sharing their knowledge and insight through story and verse. Thank you Uncle Wes, for sharing your poems with us as you celebrate your 100th year.' - Dr Anne Pattel-Gray: Head of the Australia First Nations Program, World Vision Australia 
  'Uncle Wes Marne has a unique ability to allow the reader to see through his experienced eyes. The power and wisdom of his words is now more than ever important for the future generations to understand the time and place they exist in.' - Ben Bowen: CEO, Indigenous Literacy Foundation

  Alphonsus King of Aragon by Robert Greene is a grand Elizabethan drama that combines heroic ambition, romance, and political intrigue within a richly imaginative theatrical world. One of Greene's earliest and most ambitious plays, it reflects the energetic style of early English drama, blending spectacle and elevated rhetoric with themes of power, destiny, and conquest.
  
  The play follows Alphonsus, a bold and determined ruler whose rise to greatness is driven by military success, personal ambition, and an unwavering belief in his own destiny. Through battles, shifting alliances, and dramatic confrontations, Alphonsus seeks to secure authority and glory while navigating the challenges posed by rivals and political unrest.
  
  As the narrative unfolds, the drama expands beyond warfare and kingship to explore questions of loyalty, honor, and the burden of leadership. Romantic entanglements and courtly relationships add emotional depth to the story, revealing the tensions between personal desire and public duty. Greene presents a world where triumph often comes at great cost, and where the pursuit of power can shape both individual character and national fate.
  
  The play is marked by its vivid language and theatrical intensity, characteristic of the early Elizabethan stage. Greene employs grand speeches, dramatic action, and larger-than-life characterization to create a sense of epic scale, while also examining the human motivations behind political ambition.
  
  Alphonsus King of Aragon remains an important work in the development of English Renaissance drama, offering readers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of heroic theatre before the rise of Shakespearean tragedy. Its blend of romance, warfare, and political spectacle continues to capture the imagination as a vivid portrait of ambition and authority in a turbulent world.

  Prime Minister Robert Saleh feels helpless as his economy stagnates year after year. When a representative of the shadowy organization known as Armageddon offers funding for several national-level infrastructure projects, he can’t resist signing an overly expansive contract. News of this secret agreement, which includes a level of mercenary support for national security, sparks international concern. 
  Saleh hopes to play Armageddon’s investments against those of Australia and the United States, who’d focused their interest and resources elsewhere. Unfortunately, the cash flowing into Saleh’s pockets blinds him to the devastating consequences he’d unilaterally set in motion. 
  Gar Randolph and his ever-changing team of technical experts receive the call to keep an eye on things. “Remain unseen and unnoticed. More importantly, neutralize anything that isn’t in the best interest of the Saintly Islands.”   
  Events escalate until Gar takes decisive action.
