Lee Bishop, a hardware sales rep, decides to make his last cross-country sales trip by car instead of flying. One of his main reasons was to stop in the town in Iowa where he went to school, both to see the school again and to visit with his old college roommate who is now the president of the local bank with whom Lee has been corresponding through yearly Christmas cards. When he arrives in town, he tries to hook up with his old friend, Carl Kyle, but is told by his friend that he must leave town on business and that they won't be able to meet. Lee decides to drop in at the bank anyway for a quick hello, and when directed to Kyle's office sees a man who is a complete stranger. Lee learns that while the man at the bank is obviously not his old friend, he is accepted by the townsfolk as the man who was once Lee's roommate at the local college. About ready to continue his trip and leave the perplexing puzzle behind him, Lee discovers that the editor of the local newspaper is Pete Riley, another old friend from college and enlists his help in solving the mystery of just who is the bank president and what has happened to Carl Kyle.
It is the 1860s and colonial Australia is no longer just a dumping ground for the pitiful throw-offs of harsh English justice. The colony is rapidly taking on a new identity as a land where opportunities abound for those who are up to the challenge.

Into this wild land of rare beauty and constant change comes a quiet young orphan boy named Brennan. He knows nothing of his origins and his only family is an old lady who nurtures him into his teenage years. When she can no longer care for him, he packs a modest swag and a little money and heads into the bush...

Following the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona and the success and celebrity of the Dream Team, the NBA became a global sensation. Around the same time, and despite ardent warnings from his parents, Arthur Griffiths purchased an NBA team that would become the expansion Vancouver Grizzlies. Who better to restore the Dream City, he thought, than the NBA? Expansion franchises went to Vancouver and Toronto—the Canadian cities of choice as the NBA grew its international brand.
