The Piranhas: Harold Robbins
$20.00Jed Stevens' rise to wealth never frees him from the ties of his family background - half Jewish, half Sicilian Mafia. He is caught up the world of show business and high finance - a world full of the piranhas who feed on greed, immorality, the drug trade and high finance. Jed will be forced to choose between the world he has conquered and the world to whom he owes his loyalty. A dazzling exploration of cold ambition and unrestrained lust. From the ruthless dealings of global drug lords to the corporate savagery of Wall Street's hustlers, the Piranhas are those hungry, vicious, men and women whose greed is all-consuming - and whose power is deadly. -
Former pirate and captain of the Guardship, Thomas Marlowe is now a man of property with a prosperous tobacco plantation in Virginia and a beautiful wife, Elizabeth.

Forced to abandon his tobacco and flee, he takes to sea and finds himself in a battle with the ships bound for the Moghul Empire. In Madagascar, he at last comes face to face with his pirate foes.

In the wake of the World Trade Centre bombing of 1993, New York has become ground zero for an intricate web of betrayals and double-crosses in the shadowy world of Islamic fundamentalism. Sami Amir arrives in Brooklyn via Iran, his mission to investigate rumours of terrorist plots that are set to culminate around Christmas and New Year - only a few weeks away...

Here are two very different aspects of early 20th century Australia. The Poor Parson tells of the misfortunes of a Presbyterian minister in a bush parish - the day a goanna ran up his leg; his financial embarrassment when his stipend is not forthcoming; of the sudden disappearance of his church and its equally sudden reappearance as someone else's house...Dad in Politics : A man is wanted who will go to Brisbane "...'an' put the sufferances of the farmers plainly - an' - an' - well before Parliament - a man who'll talk t'them an' - an' tell 'em what's right an' - an' what ought t'be done." And no-one can do it better than Dad. Even though he doesn't know much about Parlimentary protocol he's determined to have his say! With illustrations by Syd Smith and Harry Julius.
