TIM'S BOOK OF THE WEEK - Realms of Gold by A.J. Mackinnon

This week on 7AD Tim is sailing the high seas with A.J. Mackinnon, with the new book 'Realms of Gold', the follow up to his bestselling travel memoir, 'The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow'. Tune in to 7AD on Monday morning for all the details!

About the book:
When A.J. 'Sandy' Mackinnon sailed a tiny dinghy through twelve countries from North Wales to the Black Sea, he survived pirates, the English Channel, international incidents and all the disasters, big and small, that can befall a little boat on a long voyage. Those adventures became his beloved bestseller The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow.

Decades later, that trip is a happy memory and Sandy is firmly back on land - until a message from a stranger presents an opportunity too good to refuse. Sandy picks up where his first voyage left off, sailing and rowing single-handedly around the coast from Romania to Venice.

From Istanbul to Ithaca, Mount Olympus to the ruins of Troy, he finds himself immersed in the legends of antiquity, plays chicken with mercurial border police, and is saved more than once by the kindness of strangers. He recounts it all with his unbreakable enthusiasm and self-deprecating humour, taking the reader on a hilarious and unforgettable adventure.

Thank you, Jessica, and everyone who came along to share the experience!

ANNE'S BOOK OF THE WEEK - The Burn by Jessica Mansour-Nahra

"An engrossing and prescient second novel from this talented author. A decades old friendship is only a spark away from immolation as a road trip to celebrate the end of a lockdown caused by searing temperatures and raging bushfires takes an unexpected turn."

Off the back of a very successful event with author Jessica Mansour-Nahra at the Devonport Library this week, Anne is featuring The Burn as her Book of the Week! We have a limited number of signed copies of The Burn in stock at Devonport Bookshop now.

About the book:
2030. Devastating bushfires have plunged Australia into lockdown. When stay-at-home orders lift, Carmen isn't relieved. Solitude has suited her too well. Carmen's best friend, Eleni, convinces her to join her and her boyfriend, Dan, and their friend Rhett on a road trip. After months apart, Eleni says they need an unplugged week away together: a chance for escape and reconnection, laughter and shared history. But the trip isn't what Carmen expects. Stuck in isolated cabins in dense national parkland, secrets spill out, new ideals are challenged and bitter arguments erupt. On the final morning, new fires are racing towards them, forcing the group to find another way out. But how, when the friends no longer trust each other with their lives?

NEW RELEASE - SCION BY JAMES ISLINGTON

Australian author James Islington is back with the first book of a brand new series, 'Scion', a gripping sci-fi thriller in which a contract killer assigned to protect a scientist from assassination finds himself in the crosshairs.

Pick up your copy of 'Scion' from Devonport Bookshop now!

About the book:
My name's Azure. I kill rich idiots for a living. All completely legal, of course, even if it does still make the old-fashioned crowd a bit uncomfortable. Once the ultra-wealthy realised they had a way to live forever-limited resources be damned-there was only ever going to be one real deterrent.

In the end, it's like a lot of people's jobs. I have to deal with a ton of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some awkward face-to-face interactions. And, like most of us, I'm only clocking on to crawl out from beneath my debts. It can be dirty work sometimes, sure, but someone's got to do it.

Luckily, my genetic enhancements make me really, really good at it.

This next job, though...strange, that it got thrown my way. I haven't had to protect a client in years.

Still, what could go wrong?
