Overview

Ella Portman is an ASIO covert operative on a mission to stop a North Korean plot, with the help of a local cell of terrorists, to steal a military stealth drone and use it to attack Australia or the United States or their southern neighbour. The situation is unclear as the chase begins. As more information is gathered, the Australian and United States governments co-operate to prevent what is looking more and more like a Korean peninsula, and possibly a global, conflict emerging. Amid assassination attempts and gunfights, it is found that the actions of a group of financially powerful megalomaniacs are at work. These people, who think it is simple to create a diversion and attack their neighbour and the world, will stand by and do nothing once they are in power, and it sets the world on a knife's edge. Ella is left in the desert to die with her two call-girl friends as her investigations lead to evidence of an underground secret superconductor mining operation in Queensland. The chase goes from Southern Queensland and the freeing of a kidnapped family with the help of a failed pioneer aviation flight across Western Australia and the Pine Gap joint Australia-U.S. base to the Northern territories and across the sea to East Timor and into a shipwrecking Typhoon. With an attack imminent and tensions around the world mounting, a strange twist takes place.

Author Information

I was born and raised in New Zealand and always found that reading was a way to learn. Moving to Australia and Melbourne and working for several computer organisations, I found my family in sports but peace in books still. I spent nearly thirty years playing rugby, basketball, golf and black-belt aikido. All these help to enhance the athletic ability of Ella Portman as she lays her body on the line for her country, battling those who would bring us harm. After many attempts at writing I finally made good on a promise to a friend of many years to take some of her international adventures and turn them into great action stories. So far she is thrilled with the first story about her and excited to see at least two more that are under preparation.
