How is it that our supposedly intelligent species manages to do such damage to the precious and fragile planet that we inhabit? We ought to be able to work out what is best for us. We ought to be able to think of the future. But we don't. This perverse behaviour reflects our failure to understand the human personality. We have been powerfully influenced by misguided ideas about people and about what it is that makes for human flourishing. The Earth and Us is a book about people, our impact on the natural environment and the political, economic and industrial implications - and about how we all live our lives.

The art of deception is explored and is a core theme in this book. The notion that there still is a possibility of peace, in a life that is not just black and white, but full of a variety of kinky shades, is also considered. The Jägermeister's Apprentice is really about scruffy Buddy Rioux's skirmishing odyssey. Through the eyes of Buddy Rioux, a likeable and inquisitive chap, Jonzy Wandelaar examines the concept of deception in both an innocent way and in an almost fatal way. As the novel unfurls Buddy Rioux becomes increasingly alienated. Primarily we are introduced to a disreputable character Mo and his venomous voodoo den. After that we are dragged through Morpheye's violent blue terrorist revolution. As an audience we are then challenged to think about 'why we all lie', and are thrown from a situation of childhood purity and innocent unearthing, into a hideous circumstance of disorder and discerning detection. We are subsequently flown into a colourful San Francisco fugitive settlement, and plunged into a state of horrific journalistic suppression. Together we journey into three different countries, and quite unexpectedly we end up in brutal exile in northern France. Buddy Rioux, otherwise known as 'The Jägermeister's Apprentice', can see into the darkness of the society in which we all live. Reading 'The Jägermeister's Apprentice' makes you feel like you are walking in Buddy Rioux's perilous, yet mysteriously realistic world of utter isolation.

America, 1881. The north-western frontier, where old sins cast long shadows. The consequences of Robert Rathbone's vicious betrayal of a fellow soldier, fifteen years before, resurface just as he's about to stand for the first election to be held in the new settlement of Buffalo, Wyoming. Rathbone has spent the years since leaving the army building a ruthless reputation across the American Northwest. His pursuit of power, wealth, and status are all driven by his desire to acquire the one thing that has eluded him since that earlier time, and the reason for his treachery: the love of Josie 'Sugar' Dunaway. Shadows from the past track Rathbone to Buffalo, a town where two-fisted men and street-savvy women survive by the strength of their wits, and the speed of their guns. A Dixie bounty hunter, an English nobleman's son in exile, and a cow-hand with changeable allegiances, complicate each character's pursuit of their own goal. 1881 demonstrates the power of envy and love, betrayal and revenge, set against a backdrop of the American frontier, where life is played out in the raw, and where the land and its people were transformed into an enduring country and distinct American character.

Sailing with Cochrane again, he joins the admiral in what must be one of the most extraordinary periods of his already legendary career"--Amazon.com.
