Planes don’t just vanish. Petra de Villiers told herself that. Spy satellites follow the movements of everything on Planet Earth. America and the other big powers know what’s going on. They must have seen what happened to her father’s plane. If they didn’t then they weren’t as clever as they made out. The Boeing-717 left Paris for Toronto and failed to arrive. It was carrying delegates to a conference on globalization. Petra’s father arranged the conference. He had damning evidence that global power was falling into the hands of a small number of ruthless individuals seeking world domination. He called them The Cabal. Petra had no doubt The Cabal existed. Once, it had seemed distant, like the things she learnt about at university. Now, it had taken on a frightening reality. Her father’s plane was almost certainly sabotaged. As heir to the de Villiers fortune she was at great risk.
I either started off on the wrong foot or I'm the legendary rolling stone. Normally, a degree in astrophysics does not lead to a stint in Parliament House, public relations, the diving industry and a backpacker resort - but that's what happened to me. I'm now retired in the sense that I no longer need to work for a living and that gives me time for travelling and writing. My messy life has provided a lot of material for writing. But, even in this, I've not settled down to a single genre. I wobble between action mystery thrillers and historical novels then find myself writing books on travel and business. I live on the Gold Coast, Australia. Contact: mikejkdixon@bigpond.com
