Pacific
Young Australian actress Samantha Lindsay, fresh from her success on the London stage, is thrilled when she lands the lead role in the latest Hollywood war epic to be filmed in the dramatic South Pacific islands of Vanuatu. It's the role of a lifetime. In another era, Jane Thackeray travels from her home in England to the far distant islands of the New Hebrides with her husband, a Presbyterian missionary. Ensnared in the turmoil of war in the South Pacific, Jane witnesses the devastating effect human conflict has upon an innocent race of people, and her life becomes entwined in a maelstrom of love, hate, sacrifice and revenge. On location in Vanuatu, Samantha plays a character based on the life of 'Mamma Tack', a World War II heroine who was invaluable to both the US forces and the New Hebredian natives. Uncanny parallels between history and fiction emerge and Sam begins a quest for the truth.

Herzenssturm
Die junge Samantha bekommt ihre erste Hauptrolle in einem Hollywoodfilm. Schauplatz: die zauberische Insel Vanuatu im Südpazifik. Die Frau, die sie darstellen soll war eine Legende: Jane, die englische Missionarsfrau, die sich für das Wohl der Insulaner einsetzte. Als der Sturm des 2. Weltkrieges das Inselparadies erreichte, begegnete Jane dem amerikanischen Piloten Charles. Eine verbotene Liebe flammte zwischen ihnen auf, die Jane um jeden Preis verborgen halten musste. Je mehr sich Samantha mit Janes Leben beschäftigt, desto mehr ergreift die Vergangenheit von der jungen Schauspielerin Besitz. Ihr scheint, als sei sie nicht das erste Mal auf der Insel. Welches Geheimnis verbindet sie mit Janes Schicksal?
Ouidah
Ouidah, an indigenous African town in the modern Republic of Benin, was the principal pre-colonial commercial centre of its region, and the second most important town of the Dahomey kingdom. It served as a major outlet for the export of slaves for the trans- Atlantic trade. Between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries Ouidah was the most important embarkation point for slaves in the region of West Africa known to outsiders as the 'Slave Coast'. Exporting over a million slaves, it was second only to Luanda in Angola for the embarkation of slaves in the whole of Africa. The author's central concerns are the organization of the African end of the slave trade, and the impact participation in the trade had on the historical development of the African societies involved. It shifts the focus from the viewpoint of the Dahomian monarchy, represented in previous studies, to the coast. Here is a well documented case study of pre-colonial urbanism, of the evolution of a merchant community, and in particular the growth of a group of private traders whose relations with the Dahomian monarchy grew increasingly problematic over time.
