Lance Dillon is owner of a new cattle station on the southern fringe of Australia's Arnhem Land. When an Aboriginal hunting party targets Dillon's prize bull for a ritual killing, and then spears Dillon in the shoulder, it's clear they want him off their traditional land. Under the merciless rays of the burning sun, the wounded Dillon flees into the bush, with expert tracker Mundaru in hot pursuit. Dillon's city-born wife Mary and handsome local policeman Neil Adams set out to search for her husband. The gruelling journey throws them together, and it is not long before each is secretly hoping that Dillon is never found alive. The Naked Country is a terrifying manhunt set in one of the harshest and most remote regions of the world.

The war was over . . . But it was a time of armistice, not peace. In the winter of 1945, Austria was in a land without leaders and withoug hope. To men like Major Mark Hanlon, Occupation Commander in the snowbound Alps, fell the task of destroying the stink of tyranny and death that the Nazis had left behind.Major Hanlon had sought the appointment because he wanted to help. On all sides he found despair and resistance. He wanted to rule by law, not force. But his word was law and backed up by guns. And it was his job - and his duty - to rule.In BACKLASH, as in his tremendous best sellers 'The Devil's Advocate' and 'The Shoes of the Fisherman', Morris West tells a vivid and exciting story which sweeps the reader into a dramatic involvement with the characters. And as in those two books he poses moral problems which give his novels an added measure of depth and impact.

"Il Grande Mediatore", del 1991, è l'ennesimo grande successo di Morris West, autore abituato a grandi esiti di critica e di vendita, sin dai lontani anni '70. La trama di questo romanzo, trae le sue mosse dal Giappone. Proprio il paese del Sol Levante, infatti, vede riunito nella sua quiete un gruppo estremamente selezionato composto da diplomatici, militari, economisti ed antropologi. Il gruppo in questione, ha un preciso ed inquietante obiettivo, quello di creare le condizioni per una alleanza tra Germania, Russia e Giappone, che dovrebbe portare ad una vera e propria ridefinizione della sfera economica sovietica. Un progetto che, qualora andasse in porto, aprirebbe scenari nuovi ed estremamente redditizi per i partecipanti. La mediazione che dovrebbe permettere la realizzazione del progetto, è affidata a Gilbert Anselm Langton, il quale ha le doti giuste per ottenere il risultato pieno: uomo al di sopra delle parti, è comunque in grado di comprendere i meccanismi di diffidenza tra le nazioni interessate e di smussare gli angoli e le incrostazioni create dagli stessi. Per far questo deve eliminare rancori millenari e il potenziale conflitto tra mentalità e tradizioni che sono all'apparenza imcompatibili. Anche un mediatore come lui, però, non può fare molto di fronte agli imprevisti che conducono il lettore ad un finale inatteso e vorticoso, come è nella tradizione di Morris West, uno dei maestri del genere.

Agenti Mossadu zatknou jednu ze sester na klinice, původem Arabku. Teroristé se však nevzdávají svého úmyslu a navíc se chtějí mstít za její únos.
