Voyage Beneath the Waves
VOYAGE BENEATH THE WAVES was published two years prior to Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Verne, when he became aware of Jules Rengade's serial version, felt obliged to write the magazine editor to set the record straight–HE'D developed the idea independently! In fact, the influence was very much the other way around: although Rengade had come up with the idea of an imaginary voyage of submarine exploration separately, he'd modeled his narrative style on Verne's, thus producing the first «Vernean» novel written by someone other than the great man himself. This is the first fictional use of a man-made submersible to explore the ocean depths–and it remains a very readable entry into the then-new genre of science fiction.
Genesis...
It did not matter to Senator Lang Elliott that religious fundamentalist had decided to make his life a daily living hell, but the senator took umbrage when these pious, self-serving folks, took it upon themselves to murder a member of his crew and steal his prized stallion in return for a King’s ransom. The funds he knew to be utilized by this extreme group to develop propaganda to evangelize and offset the liberal media contaminating young minds and Christian soldiers. They would stop at nothing and had murdered once! Welby Thomas Cox, Jr. (Editor)
Living Upside Down
Sue and Roger attempt to resolve family conflicts and improve their living standards by migrating with their two small children from England to the warmer Great Southern Land to become 'fair dinkum Aussies'.<br /> <br />Set from the 1970s, buckle up for a bittersweet roller-coast ride as they encounter the British Australia House, a homicidal charter flight to Australia, an immigration hostel, and befriend true blue Aussies who are suspicious of 'ten pound poms' and anyone who whinges or drinks tea, rather than coffee or beer! Their adventure takes an unexpected right turn as they experience life in a Pacific Archipelago for a while.<br /> <br />This is an inspirational, laugh-out-loud story of one small family's triumph over unbelievable odds. Their adventures and challenges of job satisfaction, fishing, family, cultural differences, and death is told with a self-deprecating humour – as Roger and Sue inherit the Aussie witticism.
