A lost and lonely orphaned youth grows up street wise and tough in the poorest districts of a 19th century Scandinavian city before joining the early foreign Legion. But soon after, he deserts the Legion to become a mercenary for an Islamic Warlord in Mesopotamia, where he near-fatally contracts TB. When his small company are ambushed and butchered by a Bandit Army he flees into the mountain wilderness. Here, by absolute chance he discovers and consumes the world's rarest plant first stumbled on by an ancient warrior king of Uruk - the flower of born again- so sought after by vast people through history. The plant's miraculous properties heal his illness and his life enters a seemingly alternate dimension as he embarks on a fantastical journey: this takes him through several coming centuries in his search for love, purpose and meaning in a fast changing world: he finds this world to be one of myriad amazing opportunities as well as one filled with lethal and terrible unknowns and risks beyond count.
My first response to the gob-smackingly arrogant and senseless sinking of Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior-by Gallic Spooks in Auckland Harbour in 1985 which also killed a Portuguese environmentalist-was total disbelief; my second response, however, was my 135-page novella The Journeyman, written in anger about a fictional group of female and male ecological warriors as they made their way to Muroroa atoll to protest the then subterranean Nuclear Testing by France's Force du Frappe. Just prior to the advent of the World Wide Web, I turned this short novel into Pacific Meltdown, my first screenplay.I eventually rewrote my story as Pacific Apocalypse & The River Ocean a wide-ranging mini epic seen through the eyes of a brave Australian farming and soldiering family no great distance from Narrabri and Pillega.P.
