A love without dimension...After a devastating car crash leaves him in a coma for nearly two months, seventeen-year-old David Abbott finally awakens one night in a hospital. Miraculously, he seems to have made a near-complete recovery, except in one crucial area: his memory. Nothing about his life, from his hometown to his own parents, seems familiar. Desperate to fill this void, David visits the scene of his accident. Instead of answers, he finds a young girl, near dead and alone in the woods. The mystery around his own memories only deepens when she awakens and makes a series of unbelievable claims-including that she has been searching for him across time and space.David dismisses her stories as crazed fever dreams at first. But the more time he spends with this enigmatic yet enchanting stranger, the more he starts to question his so-called reality. If what he feels for her is real, could her fantastical vision of their alternate life together be real as well?

Brilliant science-fiction set in the ancient City of Skala between a harsh, hot, barren desert called Hellinar and the dark, icy tundra of Ayon...

The Mannix Era covers the main actors, organizations, events and issues in the archdiocese from 1920-1970. The narrative has four heroes: Dr Mannix, the Archdiocese itself, its weekly newspaper The Advocate, and the well organised Catholic community. It is the story of a Catholic archdiocese in which initiatives were encouraged, to become under Dr Mannix the most energetic in Australia, a self-aware community with high participation rates, but suddenly and unexpectedly, it came to a shattering crash with the great Labor split of the mid 1950s.This book is a sequel to the author's Melbourne Before Mannix.
