Time travel is impossible, but a team of well-funded geneticists discovers that human DNA contains a full visual and aural record of every second of our lives and this can be retrieved and displayed.

Amazing discoveries are made, some old beliefs shattered, new historical truths discovered. Massive changes start to appear in what it means to be human and all of society will change irrevocably.

Two soldiers returned from the wreckage of World War II and made themselves the richest men in America. They founded and have led a group of some of the most powerful men in the USA who plan a coup to take over the country and run it as a dictatorship for their own ends. A specialist group of highly secret and dedicated agents discovers the plot and starts trying to uncover the full scope of what is being planned and who is behind it all. But nobody, not the agents, nor even the members of the "New America Society" know the real details of the old men's plan and just how destructive it could be. As the day of the coup draws near, the members of "Task Force Five" must work frantically to prevent the catastrophe.
Almost twelve million people in Europe found themselves as Displaced Persons after World War II. The author was one of them, together with her mother, originally Ukrainian and evicted from their homes by the War.The majority of these had been inmates of Nazi concentration camps, prisoners of war and slave labour camps.In 1947 the Australian Government reached an agreement with the International Refugee Organisation (IRO) to take 200,000 DPs from refugee camps in Europe. As the DPs arrived in Australia they were placed in temporary accommodation, mainly in disused army barracks.One of these camps was Scheyville, situated in the Hawkesbury region, ten kilometres from the rural farmland town of Windsor, northwest of Sydney. It was an isolated place, surrounded by broad-leaved ironbark and scribbly gum trees and lagoons, ideal as a military school for artillery and anti-tank warfare during WWII, which it had been in the past. However, it was not suitable for families scarred physically and emotionally by their past experiences.Rose and her family arrived in Scheyville in 1954 from Greta where they had spent the last two years, after being shuffled from one transit camp to another in the country towns of Bathurst and Parkes in western New South Wales. Scheyville was the last camp.
