The year is 2030. The population of the world is well over 8 billion. Someone has sabotaged all the silicon-based electronics on the planet. No modern technology is working – no phones, no computers, no navigation systems, no Internet, no television and there is minimal distribution of food – the world, as we know it, is grinding to a halt.
Arthur Blair, the eighty-two-year-old retired director of the Netherlands-based International Investigations Bureau (IIB), is back in this spell-binding thriller. Can he solve the mystery, expose the culprits and lift this dystopian scenario?
This is a story of how vulnerable any society can be when control is given away to powerful, faceless people. But it is also a tale of how a vigilant few can bring the sunshine back into the world.

Written by Phillip Butterss, lecturer in Australian Literature at the University of Adelaide, and illustrated by Ron Edwards.
A.B. Patterson is usually acknowledged as the first collector of Australian folk song through his important edition, Old Bush Songs, but this book was actually preceded by a collection published some eleven years earlier in the Brisbane weekly, The Queenslander. The songs were published under the heading 'Songs of the Bush', in a column that ran for a little over 6 months.
This book, Songs of the Bush contains the songs that made up that first collection back in the 1890s, as well as original comments from readers of The Queenslander including varying versions of the songs.
Georgetown is a small town in Far North Queensland, which has a history as a gold mining town. In the 1970s there was a mini gold rush there, which was short lived.
Ron and Anne Edwards traveled there in 1992, and documented their trip, which led to the little book, similar to the other Explorer's Guides we have for sale.
There are some interesting points of interest discussed - The Millstream Express, the Etheridge River, hand made nails and even a recipe for marmalade!
This is a lovely book, filled with detailed and beautiful linocut images by Ron Edwards, demonstrating his skill at this intricate form of printing.
Ron was a teacher in the Print room at Swinburn after graduating with his Diploma of Art in the 1940s.
The linocuts are numbered from 300, as he had produced that many by 1956, and did not have access to a printing press again until 1989, when he took up the practice again. These are some of the prints created since 1989.
Just a nice book to look at, and for anyone interested in having a go at lino printing, maybe a source of inspiration.
