FOR FANS OF JAMES BOND, TOM CLANCY & DANIEL SILVA The exciting Sequel to 'The Excalibur File' is a thriller about a woman, a war and a love affair. Named after her father's favourite beer, Cascade Smith is born beautiful, which will shape her life. She grows up an 'all Australian girl, ' progressing from her High-Country home through school, university, first love and sporting success - given her stunning looks, the perfect formula for 'happily ever after.' But that is not to be. The year 2024 sees the tragic death of her soul mate. Bad enough, but 2024 also heralds the rise of a China intent on territorial expansion throughout the South Pacific. America's NSA obtains the PLA plan for 'Oceania Gold' - a strategic blueprint to roll south and ultimately invade northern Australia on Christmas Day, 2030. Cascade is recruited into Wedgetail, Australia's clandestine black ops group tasked to counter China's MSS agents inserted into the country to destabilise the defence effort and open the way for invasion. She and her fellow agents take on the MSS as an undermanned Australia and her US ally prepare for the greatest naval battle since World War 2 - a battle Australia can never hope to win. Or can it?
