Cliffs Of Ochre Trilogy Book 2

Chloe, the mixed-race illegitimate daughter of a cattle baron inherits vast landholdings in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions of Western Australia. The wealth has been accumulated by her father’s criminal actions brought on by the desperation to survive which saw him dragged into a conspiracy from which there was no escape. Chloe had been brought up on Venus Downs, unacknowledged by Henry Boyce, her natural father. On the death of her father and his adopted twin sons she is suddenly party to the ongoing crime. A young lawyer, Andrew Hanna, discovers the crime and the main perpetrators, but is his client a willing participant? He falls in love with her, but she is already married to a psychopathic husband, whom she fled from in London when she abandoned her international modelling career. The central conspirator to the crime moves to gain control of her entire estate, through financial manipulation, blackmail, murder and fear. Hanna gradually unravels the identity of the criminals involved at his own peril when he establishes Chloe is not involved, but can he recover her inheritance from a hopeless financial position? As with the first novel in the trilogy, “Cliffs of Ochre” follows “The Eye of the of the Rainbow Serpent,” as a reflection of the human condition of exploitation and greed.

A mysterious stranger. A murderous ambush and a sinister plot in the deep desert. Alissa returns home from university, still haunted by the death of her sister and a restlessness that keeps drawing her back into the great sand sea of Irithen, the dangerous heart of a remote province on a distant planet. Her attempt to save the life of the young and charismatic Talin throws her into a whirlwind of hidden agendas and a ruthless military attack. She has trained in the intense shamanic skills that might help her survive in this vast expanse of sand, heat, enormous lizards and poisonous scorpions. Learning to fly a giant condor before it kills her might help as well. Returning to the city, she confronts greater danger as she comes face to face with the invaders – and the terrifying Captain Reith who has haunted her dreams ever since she saw him on a grainy vid-recording in the desert. A compelling attraction she still does not understand. Maybe love will prove more powerful than war. But the heart of the enemy is a dangerous place… When Alissa and Reith escape from the devastated prison on Eden. they face a dangerous journey back to the capital with vital information. All they have to do is cross an unstable swamp inhabited by giant eels and carnivorous plants, get past the enemy slave camp on the coast, and somehow make it across the ocean to Pangaea without getting captured. The sinister threat already implanted deep in Reith’s history could make the task impossible, but if they can learn each other’s skills and work together, they might have a chance. Books 1, 2 & 3 of the Stormweaver series, the far-future fantasy epic by Jay Aspen.

This is the third in the five-yearly series of surveys of what is happening in rock art studies around the world. As always, the texts reflect something of the great differences in approach and emphasis that exist in different regions. The volume presents examples from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the New World. During the period in question, 1999 to 2004, there have been few major events, although in the field of Pleistocene art many new discoveries have been made, and a new country added to the select list of those with Ice Age cave art. Some regions such as North Africa and the former USSR have seen a tremendous amount of activity, focusing not only on recording but also on chronology, and the conservation of sites. With the global increase of tourism, the management of rock art sites that are accessible to the public is a theme of ever-growing importance.
