AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Australia of the very near future. Nationalistic fervour and religious fundamentalism are on the rise. Drugs, espionage and sexual perversion are commonplace. The real enemy is the enemy within. Steven Plat is Head of a small National Security Organization. His problem: What do Jim Morrison and the Doors, a white supremacy group, a security leak at Joint Service Intelligence, a nightclub called "The Pits of Hell," and the murder of a computer programmer have in common? Entangled in an intriguing web of secrets and subterfuge, he finds more than he bargained for: drugs, espionage, sexual perversion, and cheap trinkets. And he also finds himself at the back door of a city few care to see. If Plat fails, Australia may never be the same again'. Source: bookseller's website.
