Crescent Moon Rising

Kerry B Collison

At a time when Australians are wavering in support of a proposed US-led invasion of Iraq, more than six hundred US Marines rotating on R &amp; R in Bali suddenly disappear; then, Kuta erupts in a fireball and Australia falls into line with America's demand to become part of the 'Coalition of the Willing'.<br /> <br />Based on indisputable fact, a step by step account of the Bali bombers, the rise of extremist Islamic militancy across Asia and what the future might hold when terror is unleashed on Australia's doorstep, 'Crescent Moon Rising' relates the rise of militant Islam across Asia and how the US and other foreign intelligence agencies missed opportunities to arrest not only the instigators of the September 11 attacks on the USA but also those who created the Jemaah Islamiyah and carried out the Bali bombings. The Bojinka Plot is uncovered in Manila but the US ridicules the contents found on a white Toshiba laptop discovered after an apartment fire. The computer files lay out an assassination plot against the Pope who would visit that week, and the detailed plan to hijack 11 aircraft and crash these into the World Trade Towers and other US targets. The timing of this event was January 1995.

Rogue Patriot

Mike Trial Trial

North Korea is readying a ballistic missile for launch and intelligence sources have informed Admiral William Hallam, Chief of Naval Operations Western Pacific, that the missile may be tipped with a nuclear warhead. Yet Admiral Hallam&#39;s orders, direct from the President of the United States, are to take no action to stop the launch. <br><br>Acting without authority, Admiral Hallam sends a clandestine SEAL team into North Korea to disable the missile&#39;s guidance. If the mission succeeds, the missile will do no damage, but the North Koreans will blame the United States for invading their territory, and Admiral Hallam will be court marshaled. But if the mission fails, it could mean all-out war on the Korean peninsula that will almost certainly pull China and the United States into the conflict.
