Queen’s Pawn to D4

$0.00

In a near-future Australia, a deadly gas pipeline explosion—dismissed by the government as an accident—reveals a far more dangerous truth. Four unlikely allies emerge: an aging senator fighting for peace, a journalist uncovering her ancestral ties to conflict, an adventurer risking everything to expose hidden dangers, and a young research officer learning that ambition is nothing without compassion. As they confront apathy, deceit, and shadowy forces shaping the nation’s future, their choices will determine whether history repeats—or change is finally possible. A gripping blend of political thriller and cautionary tale, this is a story of courage when silence is no longer an option.

Description

When does fiction become prophecy, and when does prophecy turn to reality? Can the future be changed by learning from the past?

Five years from now, a gas pipeline explodes in Northern Australia. The government calls this an accident. But four Australians know the truth is far more dangerous.

An aging senator works towards Australia’s military neutrality and new role as an international peacemaker.

A glamorous current affairs journalist discovers that her complex ancestry demonstrates the folly of war.

A “can-do” Aussie adventurer faces danger to expose the risks implicit in Australia’s military allegiances.

And a young research officer is forced to confront her own ambition, discovering humility, compassion and the strength of unity.

Together, they must battle apathy, deceit, and the shadowy forces that threaten Australia’s future.

Part political thriller, part cautionary tale—this is the story of what happens when silence is no longer an option.
