The Singing Ship PDF By:Rebecca Winterer Published on 2017-07-21 by del Sol Press Two teenage sisters--Bernadette, the explorer and skeptic; and Jane, the Christian optimist--engage in an unorthodox battle for the truth of their attack in the Australian bush.

Their parents, Audrey and Robert, unaware of what's happened, deal with their own break in the security of their marriage.

The Revisionists PDF By:Thomas Mullen Published on 2011-09-28 by Mulholland Books A fast-paced literary thriller that recalls dystopian classics such as 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, from the award-winning author of The Last Town on Earth. Zed is an agent from the future. A time when the world's problems have been solved. No hunger. No war. No despair. His mission is to keep it that way. Even if it means ensuring every cataclysm throughout history runs its course-especially The Great Conflagration, an imminent disaster in our own time that Zed has been ordered to protect at all costs.
