NEW MYSTERIES OF AUSTRALIA COLLECTION - "OUTER SPACES" - 2 Mystery Sci Fi Titles in one edition.
'Australia's mysterious outback is the closest to outer space'
Amazon Kindle
THE HERO CONTAGION
Could heroism be contagious?
Fear spreads like a disease, but what if heroism swept the population like a contagion that eliminated caution, the basic survival switch in the amygdala of the brain?
The contagion began with the arrival of meteorites that flashed down around the globe, spreading clouds of dust and a mysterious agent.
Those infected rise and challenge the law and the system. They run suicide gauntlets across busy highways, stand high on ledges and tops of buildings, front enemies they once feared, spark reprisals, conflict and bloodshed in the streets - and raise the threat of reckless wars between nations.
The ‘Hero Contagion.’
One man – a rarity – is unaffected. He is a frightened man, an anxiety sufferer and returned Afghanistan war hero recovering from serious post-traumatic stress disorder. He decides to flee crazy civilization in an RV motorhome, along with his wife and children, and journey across the rugged wilderness of Australia to find a safety haven - a sanctuary, where people shelter in dug out dwellings beneath the ground. He keeps a secret Treatment Journal and photos of how he is traveling with his condition.
Can a frightened former hero save his loved ones in a world where the brave end up dead? And will the world find an answer to the ‘hero contagion’ from space
LIGHTNING RIDGE Spectre of the Black Opal:
A mysterious invasion in Australia's outback

Home of the black opal and its iridescent heart of colour, a precious gem fifty times more rare than diamonds.
Have mysterious, spectral invaders come to Lightning Ridge?
The only place on earth where 165-million year old dinosaur bones have turned into gem-quality opal...
And what is the secret of the freakish, opal anthropoid skeleton in an abandoned mine, an enigma that should never be there?
A small group of people must find the answer.
A boy with opal fever, a famous Australian actor in search of colour for a movie script. An old Aboriginal wise man. A mysterious young female miner...
Can they solve the burning mystery and the threat facing the town when opal thieves, known by locals as ‘Ratters’, threaten to strike?

Ancient Egypt's Stone book of Thoth - "an apocalyptic relic of frightening power and thaumaturgy", they called it. He had to find it before they did...
"If you believe in the holy, then you had to believe in the unholy..."
"WARNING: “Open this book and you will possess the powers of the earth, sky and the gods themselves...”
The Book of Thoth, Egypt’s god of magic, is the most dangerous source of esoteric texts ever written.
Anson Hunter, controversial alternative
Egyptologist and theorist, is obsessed with locating it before the wrong people
get hold of it.
The texts bring frightening power but
also a terrible backlash. Twice in history the contents have come to light –
the first time in the reign of Rameses the Great, linked with the Plagues of
Egypt and the suffering of the Hebrews, and in 1939 when a German Egyptologist
took rubbings of the stone texts to Hitler’s Germany before the horrors of
World War II.
Israeli Intelligence and its allies in the USA become alarmed when the Destiny Stela threatens to break into history once again. As they are all too aware, the Stela of Destiny is the Holy Grail for organisations and conspirators with dangerous political and religious agendas, both in the USA and in Europe.
Anson embarks on an investigation, pursued by enemies and shadowed by striking Israeli Mossad agent Zara Margolin and suspicious Egyptian authorities, in a hunt that covers USA, UK and secret archaeological sites in Egypt.
‘The Ibis Apocalypse’ is a danger-fraught adventure that unfolds against the background of ancient Egypt’s enthralling legend and mythology.

Eternity... immortality... is where it all converges for me in ancient Egypt with its monumental beliefs in an afterlife, in religion with its promises of eternal survival.
We know that the Egyptians were preoccupied with the afterlife, but they took it even more seriously than many imagine. Humans, they say, are the only creatures that must live life with the knowledge that one day they’re going to die and our culture is the world of distraction we create around ourselves to shield us from this knowledge. But the Egyptians’ culture did not serve as a mere distraction to the pitiless cruelty of death. Instead their culture came to grips with death in an attempt to overcome its tyranny. The pyramids, the glowing underworlds of the tombs, the Books of Coming Forth By Day, or the Book of the Dead as they called these religious texts - were the results of government-funded research into the ‘first mystery’- death and the afterlife. The early pyramids were like nationally financed space-shots designed to launch the god-king pharaoh into the hereafter. The Egyptians even had maps showing the routes to the underworld painted on the bases of coffins. The unconscious psyche believes in life after death as Carl Jung asserted…
Eternity, immortality. We almost brush against their reality in the monumental stone pyramids, columns and text-covered tombs of ancient Egypt.
Egypt is also the world's greatest outdoor museum!
