Brandenburg: Henry Porter
A compelling spy novel set in East Germany in the weeks leading up to the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989. Dr Rudi Rosenharte, a former agent, is faced with a stark choice when he is set up by British Intelligence: to defect to the West, leaving his family to the mercies of the infamous Stasi, the East German secret police, or return to his homeland to carry out a dangerous mission.
Digger: Max Anderson
A funny, thoughtful tale of one man's obsession with finding gold amidst the crazy miners, forgotten communities, mosquitoes and dust of the Australian outback. Ever since he was a small boy, Max Anderson has been digging for buried treasure. From excavating his parent's garden, to unearthing a flint arrowhead in the fields nearby, he has always sought hidden riches. And so, years later, it made perfect sense for him to travel to one of the remotest parts of Western Australia to spend a year prospecting for gold. His journey took him to Kookynie, a town of eight buildings that stand in a landscape of rubble, foundations and mining waste-the remains of a town of 3,500 which died before the Great War began.
