633 Squadron: Squadron 633 was chosen for a special mission, crucial to the success of D-Day. From the beginning of their special training, each man knew it was an almost impossible task. Their target is a Norwegian fjord, where the Germans are developing a top-secret weapon. The pilots know they'll be flying in low, between the steep mountain walls, without fighter support. For many, the trip will be one-way only... Operation Rhine Maiden: After a near-suicide mission to the Swartfjord, which claimed many lives, morale among the survivors of 633 Squadron was at its lowest ebb. Unbearable tension and problems with replacement recruits were tearing the squadron apart. The new Commander, the young, brilliant and aggressive Ian Moore, knew that the only thing that would pull it together was the challenge of another dangerous mission. The Germans were developing Rhine Maiden - a new antiaircraft rocket which posed a deadly threat to the Allies’ invasion plans. The top brass decided that 633 Squadron should first bomb the rocket factory and then make a daring strike in broad daylight on an underground target, buried deep in a Bavarian valley. Operation Crucible: Autumn 1943: An angry American press has blamed the RAF for heavy U.S. B-17 losses over Europe. To restore confidence, joint Allied operations are planned by RAF and 8th Air Force top brass. 633 Squadron, whose Rhine Maiden mission success has won them a glorious reputation, is called in to launch Operation Crucible. It is to be a Dieppe-style landing by the Americans, supported by the aces of 633 Squadron. Their role: to give ground support to troops against overwhelming firepower and totally unforeseen odds. -

Book III of The Quintara Marathon. Three galactic empires existed in uneasy proximity. Each was led by completely different life forms with only one thing in common - demons. Each had a legend of humanoid creatures with hooves and horns, representing supernatural power and unspeakable evil. The similarity of the legends across the galaxy had led some to theorise that they had some basis in fact. Unfortunately, they were right; an expedition exploring an uncharted planet discovered, sealed in transparent cells, two horned creatures, gigantic in stature, perfectly preserved and very much alive. The three empires sent rescue missions which arrived too late to help the expedition members, slaughtered by the demons - but not too late to pursue the demons through a gate into another space-time continuum. The three missions have fought each other all the way but now they must help each other against the menace of the re-awakened demons - not just for their survival, but the survival of the 90 trillion Fausts, 90 trillion beings in danger of losing their souls. Fortunately - although the demons have proven themselves invulnerable to any weapon known in the three empires - the beings of the mission are about to discover that they have very unusual allies. After all, if demons - why not angels? Cover art by Darrell K. Sweet. -

Denis O'Grady, son of John...got bored with the Big Smoke so he packed a few belongings, filled his ute with juice and a dozen bottles and headed for the bush.

On February 1, 1922, the distinguished silent-film director William Desmond Taylor was shot dead in his Los Angeles bungalow. Reports of strange activities at the scene circulated soon after. When the police arrived, the head of Paramount Studios was burning a bundle of papers in the fireplace, and a well-known actress was searching the house for letters she claimed were hers. Despite a full-scale investigation - at one time there were over 300 suspects - the case was never solved; to this day it has remained a lingering Hollywood scandal. In 1967, more than forty years after Taylor's death, director King Vidor felt determined to solve the mystery which had haunted him throughout his career. He wanted to make a film about it. Through his intimate knowledge of both the studios and the stars, he succeeded - where dozens of professional detectives had failed - in discovering the identity of the murderer. But his findings were too explosive. He decided he could never go public and locked his evidence away. After Vidor's death in 1982, Sidney D. Kirkpatrick, Vidor's authorised biographer, gained access to the evidence and reconstructed the amazing story of Taylor's murder and Vidor's investigation. With a cast of suspects that includes the actress Mabel Normand, a reputed drug addict; the beautiful ingénue, Mary Miles Minter; Mary's domineering mother, Charlotte Shelby; Taylor's homosexual houseman; and Taylor's secretary, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Taylor's mysteriously elusive brother, this true crime story has all the elements of a classic murder mystery. Covered up for more than half a century, the full story can now be told in all its riveting, shocking detail. Contains black and white photographs. -

Gone With The Wind was the most commercially successful film ever made. Decades later, it still retains all the excitement, drama, glamour and romance that the world flocked to see in 1939 and 1940. This is a lavish behind the scenes look at how it was made - from David O. Selznick's inspired determination to bring it to life, the hiring and firing of script writers, directors and cameramen; the casting of Clark Gable as Rhett and the year long search for the perfect Scarlett...followed by the seemingly unending editing, the sneak previews, the sneers of Hollywood and finally, the triumphant Atlanta premiere attended by four Civil War veterans and ten Academy Awards. This is a unique pictorial record of a film that sums up the madness and the genius of the Hollywood system and a tribute to the men and women who all contributed to Gone With The Wind . -
