Produktbeschreibung
A peaceful South Sea diving cruise with the extra crew of Georgia and Beth, the shapely veterinary professors who are continuing their studies of Jasper, Harry's very large, mystical cat and his mysterious ways. Also aboard are his very good friends, Andy the Australian PM, his lady Lara, and the effervescent Charlie, his PPS. With lazy days spent eating, drinking, playing sexy games, and diving in the glorious gin-clear waters of the South Pacific, what could possibly go wrong! Until Andy's diving is interrupted by a cry for assistance from the President of Bougainville, who has a sudden and uninvited infestation of militant Chinese, in the form of a diplomatic negotiating team in his office and a naval assault ship parked in his finest harbour. Trying to strike a balance between keeping Australia neutral, while standing up for the underdog, becomes a major challenge for Harry and his mismatched crew. International relations are strained to breaking point when Harry manages to escalate tensions... as usual, gets shot... as usual, and goes toe-to-toe with a Chinese captain who finally finds out he's arrested the wrong person. Despite Harry's best talk-fest endeavours, heavy-duty carnage becomes the order of the day, when some most unlikely friends are called upon to help reverse all that which did go horribly wrong!

Autorenporträt
I was born and raised on the Gold Coast, Queensland where my extended family always had boats. My love of sailing came from this background and developed through a series of racing catamarans that in turn led to the purchase of an old 47-foot wooden, engineless, monohull yacht that had been built in Ireland in 1905 and had taken part in the Dunkirk evacuation. I lived on this boat at a marina in Rushcutters Bay, Sydney Harbour for several years and my engine-free adventures on this wonderful old boat may one day appear in writing.The love of flying dragged me away from the boating scene, and after 38 years of glider, aeroplane and helicopter flying, I have retired to live in country New South Wales with my partner, who is my Chief Editor, and our two cats. While my writing has evolved from a part-time hobby to become a full-time occupation, it is no less enjoyable while the story lines keep coming to mind.
