Terrorists plan to use nuclear bombs to destroy and contaminate the United States with atomic radiation. VESPER, the new President's classified & secret Virtual ExtraSensory Perception Experimental Research project hidden in corridors under JFK runways, must locate a "mindreacher" to find terrorists. Able to read minds over great distances, mindreachers were born in South Africa decades ago. Frightened parents hid them around the world. Will a mindreacher be powerful enough to fly over a city and find terrorists? Selected international military personnel are trained via encrypted satellite transmissions to recognize psychic events and hone in on the human catalyst, hopefully a mindreacher. A minor telepath and teacher, Ana Masterson, is discovered and teamed with elite warrior Major Jon Coulter, USMC, a Shaolin-trained martial arts master. They become embroiled in a perilous global search for mindreachers.
Elvis Presley musicals, beach romps, biker flicks, and alienated youth movies were some of the most popular types of drive-in films during the sixties. The actresses interviewed for this book (including Celeste Yarnall, Lana Wood, Linda Harrison, Pamela Tiffin, Deanna Lund, Diane McBain, Judy Pace, and Chris Noel) all made their mark in these genres.

From a young age, I could lie like a chop in gravy. I loved the thrill of crafting a story. It wasn't until my twenties that I made the connection that lying is a lot like acting . . . For almost 30 years, Lynne McGranger has been entertaining, enthralling and bringing smiles to TV viewers all around the world. A veteran of Home and Away, a popular soap opera syndicated to over 80 countries, Lynne was recently acknowledged as a 'TV actor legend' when she became the longest-serving female cast member of any Australian TV show. Her beloved character, Irene Roberts, has been a font of wisdom, good humour and unforgettable lines for decades. But Lynne's story goes far beyond Summer Bay. From tales of a childhood full of fad diets in the 1950s (tuna, milk and oranges, anyone?), to embarking on a teaching career (before realising that kids en masse made her nervous), to landing a 'guest role' on Home and Away that's lasted 28 years, Away and At Home will have readers laughing out loud and nodding in recognition. From a self-confessed 'accident looking for a place to happen' comes a frank, heart-warming and hilarious memoir, guaranteed to enthral readers everywhere.
