1 y separately published work icon Expectations Hugh Allan , Ballarat East : Shawline Publishing , 2020 20483020 2020 selected work short story adventure

'Welcome to the selected short stories from one of Australia's newest authors in adventure fiction, written for your indulgence...

'This collection will first take you on a bizarre global jaunt from England to Hong Kong, Japan and Indonesia during the Great Oil Escapade.

'Then across the sea, to the Amazon jungles within a tale of exploration and deification.

'We share in the experience of four scientists researching in the farthest cold of the planet to leap from Antarctica to Jupiter and back, raising serious questions in their minds.

'We chase James Banock, a purloiner of British munitions across Scotland to Norway then along a voyage across the North Sea, where action becomes life threatening as Banock's ship explodes and sinks.

'To conclude the excitement and thrills, we find the solitude of memory filled by photographs and tales, which describes the author's car-trip around Australia in 1967 and a youth filled with freedom and the future uncertain.

'Written for readers to enjoy, without EXPECTATIONS...'

1 y separately published work icon High Latitude for Dying Hugh Allan , Ballarat East : Shawline Publishing , 2020 20481801 2020 single work novel thriller

'Tanya has a score to settle with the Russian who raped her and left her for dead ...

'Tanya learns that the Russian has teamed up with Chechen terrorists led by a renegade Argentine Naval officer, who has a growing contempt for the British reign. Their Mission - to find a vessel loaded with munitions that had been hijacked by Argentine renegades during the Falklands War; and then the ship and the renegades who stole it vanished somewhere near the Antarctic Peninsula with no trace or clue. To find the munitions is the priority for the terrorists and nothing will stop them from delivering their justice onto the global political powers.

'Aided by her brother, sister-in-law and an Australian Antarctic expert, Tanya pursues the Russian criminal half way around the world to face her attacker at the Antarctic Peninsula. Her small band of supporters follows the terrorists’ trail, unaware of the potential threat looming over the world; one of absolute destruction if the terrorists succeed in their cause.

'Her personal mission is vengeance on the Russian but what she may actually find is an unplanned, and unexpected, chance to save the world. But her small team may be no match for the Russian and his new allies, who are hellbent on the objective ahead and hold no tolerance for a woman’s bittersweet revenge…'
