'A racy, classy political thriller ...' - Jennifer Byrne In 2005,
Marin Katich, living in Croatia under an alias, is being watched.
Before the year is out, he has been assaulted, arrested, charged
with serious war crimes and locked up in Scheveningen Prison in The
Hague, waiting for his case to come before the International War
Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. In Sydney, Anna Rosen, a
freelance journalist, is emailed photos of a man she knows to be
dead - gunned down in a brutal ambush in Bosnia over a decade ago.
A man she'd once loved but who had betrayed her. Is it possible
that the photos really are of Marin Katich? And if so, what the
hell had happened in 1992? From Croatia to The Hague to Bosnia and
Herzegovina to Sydney, Anna and Marin's intertwined history fuels
her determination to tear apart, piece by piece, his secrets, while
continuing to keep her own. In a dangerous pursuit of justice and
revenge, navigating the murky world of national and international
secret agencies and those who would still be warlords, Anna fights
for what she believes in and for those she loves. Tony Jones, one
of Australia's most admired journalists, blurs the lines between
fiction and political reality, creating a page-turning, intriguing
and gripping thriller. 'A political thriller in the Robert Harris
mould.' - Jennifer Byrne on The Twentieth Man 'Extremely readable,
fascinating and very cleverly done.' - AustralianCrimeFiction.org

need for choosing, owning and maintaining a narrowboat. The UK has
over 2000 miles of navigable canals and rivers which are home to an
estimated 35,000 licensed boats. Although canal boats can look much
the same to the novice, there are some very important differences
to be aware of. If you're new to boating you have some important
choices to make. This comprehensive book examines the options
available to different types of boaters. From those who choose to
live aboard their boats and constant cruisers to fair-weather
cruisers, hire boating and share boat syndicates - each will need a
different type of boat if they are to fully enjoy their time
afloat. Packed with case studies and advice from real boaters with
years of experience to share, this second edition has been

liveaboard costs and considerations, eco-friendly boating options,
shared ownership and tax-free boat building, as well as: - The cost
of boating - Choosing the ideal boat for your boating profile -

He was the only one left alive; now it was his turn to die. In
September 1972, journalist Anna Rosen takes an early morning phone
call from her boss at the ABC, telling her about two bombings in
Sydney's busy CBD. It's the worst terrorist attack in the country's
history and Anna has no doubt which group is responsible for the
carnage. She has been investigating the role of alleged war
criminals in the globally active Ustasha movement. High in the
Austrian Alps, Marin Katich is one of twenty would-be
revolutionaries who slip stealthily over the border into Yugoslavia
on a mission planned and funded in Australia. It will have
devastating consequences for all involved. Soon the arrival in
Australia of Yugoslavia's prime minister will trigger the next move
in a deadly international struggle. Tony Jones, one of Australia's
most admired journalists, has written a brilliantly compelling
thriller, taking us from the savage mountains of Yugoslavia to
Canberra's brutal yet covert power struggles in a novel that's
intelligent, informed and utterly suspenseful.
The romantic dream of downsizing, giving up the rat race, and living
life at 4mph on the inland waterways is proving more and more
attractive. But for tens of thousands of people it is not just a
romantic dream but an actual lifestyle.
Tony Jones is one of those people. He has lived aboard his 50ft
narrowboat for over 14 years and in this very practical book he
documents what the liveaboard lifestyle is really like, focusing on the
practical issues of day to day living for those who want to know what
living on a boat actually entails, to see how to manage it for
themselves.
Topics covered include:
· the pros, cons and costs of a residential mooring
· power usage and energy consumption (and how it differs from a house)
· how to stay warm - the choice of coal, electric, gas or wood heating
· boat loos - the pros and cons, and troubleshooting typical problems
· entertainment - TV, radio, internet, DVDs
· logistical problems - no postal address, GP access, vehicle access or
use
This second edition has been comprehensively revised to include updated
or new information on costs (moorings, license, insurances etc),
license fees for different types of craft, composting toilets and
ecological living in general, living aboard in London and other cities
(suddenly very popular), postal services, boat stretching, butty boats,
and so on, as well as more anecdotes and profile stories about
liveaboard life.
The aim of this book is to feed people's dreams by showing that every
possible problem that could arise when living on a boat has a tried and
tested solution. The dream is perfectly possible, and this book is the
complete practical guide to achieving it.

This is the true story of a boy's yearning for adventure in a
world far away from the dreary, neat and tidy life of a small Welsh
village in the years following WWII. Providence, through unexpected
opportunities and happenchance, opens up his world and carries him
through to catching the dragon.
This evocation of Welsh life in the Forties and Fifties reveals
a cultured father's influence, a mother's love, a sister's death
and a grandmother's oppressive presence. It is a story rich with
major disasters and minor serendipity; the Depression of the
Thirties, the Second World War, a local colliery disaster, a ship
wreck, a sister's death, a bus ride through the Vosges mountains, a
special junior school teacher, a trip to London with his father and
a puzzle in a Sunday newspaper.
Sexy bike racer Jacob Hunter is turning heads on the
international cycling circuit . . . in more ways then one. Rumor
has it the handsome daredevil owes his success to more than just
muscle and willpower. Allegations of drug use have followed Jacob
back to his home state of Colorado, where the stakes are higher
than ever as he gears up for the biggest race of his career.
Jacob knows he needs to stay focused on his training, but some
hometown secrets are impossible to outpace, no matter how fast you
go. When redheaded reporter Ariel Hays arrives on the scene to
profile Jacob, he tries to keep the curvaceous beauty at arm's
length.
For a man with something to hide, a reporter is the last person
to be trusted. But Ariel is ready to do anything to get her story .
. . and Jacob finds he can't resist getting personal. The heat
between them could melt the snow off the Rockies, but both Ariel
and Jacob realize they're making an avalanche that threatens
everything in its path. Because Ariel also has a secret. And it's
hard to keep secrets when passion leaves you totally exposed. . .

The Church Is Flat is the first significant, researched study into
the ecclesiology of the emerging church movement. Research into
eight congregations is put into conversation with the theology of
Jurgen Moltmann, concluding with pragmatic proposals for the the
practice of a truly relational ecclesiology.
Tony Jones visited eight emerging church congregations (Cedar Ridge
Community Church, Pathways Church, Vintage Faith Church, Journey
Church, Solomon's Porch, House of Mercy, Church of the Apostles,
and Jacob's Well), facilitating interviews, focus groups, and
surveys.
After interpreting the data, Jones pulls out the most significant
practices of these congregations and judges them relative to the
relational ecclesiology of Jurgen Moltmann. Finally, Jones proposes
a way forward for the emerging church movement, and the Protestant
church writ large.
