When the fate of the world is in your hands and you are thirteen years old, you need all the help you can get. The problem is when your support team comprises a teen girl, an older bully and your pet dog, you know you are in trouble. Can Christopher defeat Mr Smith and his vanguard of alien reptilian invaders? How do you know your enemy, when they can change their shapes to become anyone or anything? Is anyone safe? A quiet seaside town becomes the centre of a world alien invasion, where no one is safe and nothing is as it seems.

Life is not going well for Peter McAdam. Nicknamed Slipshod at school for his lackadaisical manner, the name has stuck. His life is drifting along investigating lost dogs, missing persons, unfaithful wives, and husbands until, out of the blue, he is employed to attend a weekend social gathering at Temple Heath House, the country home of Sir Reginald Potter. He is tasked with acting as the boyfriend of Sir Reginald's stunning daughter Rosemary, and discovering whether her father is being led astray by the clairvoyant, Mistress Kusoge. Out of place in a world he has no experience of, Peter finds himself at the centre of murder and intrigue, in the classic whodunnit style, but with a delicious twist.

Pennitent has been taken over by the mysterious Quorum and their rule is complete. They have subjugated the population by fear and by the manipulation of rivalry between the four quadrants: Astrolabe, Zenith, Horizon and Cirrus. By holding an annual Battle of the Bands, where each quadrant selects a rock group to represent them, they can channel the emotions of the people. The winners enjoy fabulous rewards whilst the least successful meet an unpleasant end. Insatt is the lead vocalist with one of the most enduring acts, The Saters, but being a rock star is not all it is made out to be. Walking away from fame and fortune is not as easy it as it seems, especially when a groupie has a desire to kill you. The fate of the seven worlds is in the hands of a small band of travellers, who seem ill-equipped for the task. Rival forces with other intentions gather to reclaim the Moonstone and the Galena crystal. Possession of the stones being the first step to dominating the seven worlds!Even death cannot bring relief when evil is abroad!

Legend has it that a Calender will deliver the seven worlds from Fell Craven. Peter Calender finds himself alone and lost in a new land where others believe he is the one to save them and restore the laws that govern the seven worlds. Peter doubts that he is the child of the prophecy, but events lead him into dangers that he could never have imagined. Death and destruction lurk at every turn and one false step could lead to disaster. Hunted for the moonstone he was given, where else would he go but home. But is there a home to go to?

Visions haunt Andrew Stedman's nights and begin to disturb his days. A world he does not know, but somehow recognises, plays out dramatically before his eyes. A desperate girl in a strange land calls to him for help and he feels compelled to assist. The magic of Papua New Guinea impacts suburban family life in Western Australia in ways that are terrifying, funny, informative and, above all else, compelling. But it is not New Guinea that threatens Andrew's world, it is something much older and from a more dangerous place altogether. What is it that lurks in the fish tank in the garage? What is Andrew's teacher, Mr Baldwin's secret? Be careful what we seek for, as once a pathway is opened, it may not be possible to close it.
