The Excalibur File
By the year 2024 world debt has skyrocketed to over $300 Trillion, and with the US dollar in free fall a desperate G20 votes a return to the gold standard.
The gold price skyrockets overnight, fortunate for Australia which has plenty of gold in the ground – hugely boosted by the discovery of the legendary Lasseter’s Reef.
But there is a problem.
Now boasting the world’s largest navy and a modern air force, China has been expanding its military bases south and resolves to use them in a ‘military solution’ in its quest for gold and territory.
Fortunately, US intelligence has penetrated the PLA State Security Centre and supplies ASIO with China’s complete invasion plan of PNG and northern Australia.
Aware that under the ANZUS treaty an isolationist America will supply weapons and technology but no ‘boots on the ground,’ Australia has five years to shore up its defences and find a way to stop the juggernaut.
They may have found it in a most unlikely place.
A weapon that becomes known as Excalibur.

Both victims are expertly shot in the head from long range, but the post-mortems reveal no bullets were used in the shootings. The CSI teams calculate that in both cases there was no place for the marksman to have fired from, unless suspended over busy roads.
Although it’s a case apparently impossible to solve, DCI Steve Burt reluctantly agrees to investigate with his new team. Their enquiries lead them into the murky world of greed, corruption, fraud and money laundering, but they are no nearer solving the murders.
The team is stumped until the DCI meets a retired army major and a WW2 veteran who unwittingly hold the keys to solving these impossible murders.

The Gift of Biography
Seize the day!
Repay the gift of your life by helping loved ones record the story of theirs.
Everyone has at least one story to tell – the story of their life. Once written, it is there for all time, a permanent record that will fascinate future generations, and give joy and peace to vulnerable people who desperately want to leave their life story behind for their descendants but are unable to write it themselves.
Statistics certify that 80% of Australians, and most English-speaking countries, give to charities annually, and this is one of the most rewarding services of all, for both parties!
Apostle’s advice remains current to this day: “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. Having found your own identity, spiritual satisfaction, and peace-with-self, you can give your time and skills to help people record their life story and attain self-esteem, self-discovery, and self-healing.
The Gift of Biography has been written to firstly teach you the skills and rubrics required to become a volunteer biographer, and there are exercise chapters for you to learn how to write a mini biography of your own. Taking on the role of ‘Director’, you will guide the Sessions, translate the recordings, and ultimately produce a pre-agreed tome of your loved-one’s biography. He or she will become your ‘Client’, from the first Session you conduct to the handing over of their most treasured gift.
If you are seeking a new and rewarding purpose in life, it doesn’t come better than this.
