can trust, can they succeed?
In 1900, a handful of New Zealand police detectives watched out for
spies, seditionists and others who might pose a threat to state and
society. The Police Force remained the primary instrument of such
human intelligence in New Zealand until 1956 when, a decade into
the Cold War, a dedicated Security Service was created. Over the
same period, New Zealand’s role within signals intelligence
networks evolved from the Imperial Wireless Chain to the UKUSA
intelligence alliance (now known as Five Eyes). The first of two
volumes chronicling the history of state surveillance in New
Zealand, Secret History opens up the ‘secret world’ of security
intelligence through to 1956. It is the story of the surveillers
who – in times of war and peace, turmoil and tranquillity –
monitored and analysed perceived threats to national interests. It
is also the story of the surveilled: those whose association with
organisations and movements led to their public and private lives
being documented in secret files. Secret History explores a hidden
and intriguing dimension of New Zealand history, one which sits
uneasily with cherished national notions of an exceptionally fair
and open society.
Thrown back in time by The Palace Library to the ancient City of
Alexandria, Harry, Eleanor and Grace must protect an ancient and
dangerous Scroll. It is the key to a world of monstrous creatures
in The Nether World. Cleopatra and her ally Caesar control The
Scroll, but the children must wrestle it from their grasp. Failure
is not an option, but then they are captured after losing The
Scroll to an unforeseen enemy.
