Jonathan Little, an ex-criminal lawyer, suggests to his cellmate, Daniel Rodrigue, that they should hatch a plan to 'get rid' of their wives - who they hate more than anything - for good. Their plan is fool-proof and would be perfect if not for the tenacity of Daniel's wife - the beautiful, courageous, life-embracing Janet Rodriquez.What starts out as a vengeful plot turns into a story of misplaced love and recompense as both men face the women who absorbed most of their lives. Uniquely Australian, this satire of love gone wrong is an elaborate thriller that begs the questions: at what point is there no turning back?

I'm going to f****n kill this c**t! That was my first thought when a civie boss clicked his fingers at me and pointed at me to "come here!" (He backed off at speed when he saw the look in my eyes.) If we were on live ops I would have put 2 rounds centre mass and 1 in his head! Out here in the world, if he was within arm's reach I would have already punched him in the throat! My reactions are automatic because my subconscious bodyguards are highly trained. Unfortunately, after one of my best mates was killed in Iraq, reacting to a perceived threat with violence was a common occurrence which I had to get under control...especially when my daughter snuck up behind me to give Daddy a fright... She saw the look in my eyes and I saw the fear in hers...and the journey that resulted in this book began. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY AND YOU CAN BEAT THIS. How do I know? I've been there. Through the Army, Police and Iraq, combined with the normal life challenges we all face, I would display signs and symptoms that would match the clinical terms for PTSD... but I disagreed that these behaviours were a disorder at all. Don't get me wrong, the trauma you went through is real, you may be suffering nightmares, flashbacks, insomnia or you are a werewolf like I was, but these are perfectly normal responses to what you have been through. I found that PTSD signs and symptoms are a result of how EFFECTIVELY you have trained your subconscious bodyguards to keep you alive. This is the GOOD news. When you understand what I have discovered in this book, you will be able to re-train, re-brief and re-deploy 'Your Subconscious Bodyguards.' "The book does not merely share his own story, but more than that, Dion applies CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) techniques as well as soldier imagery and Jungian warrior archetypes to access more complex and richer emotional material in regards to PTSD."

As Osaka Maru cleared the Bungo Strait and the Seto Inland Sea opened up before him, the excited young man at the bow of Osaka Maru missed nothing. But, to his growing disappointment, he recognised nothing either. After all, he'd been just five years old when he'd last seen all this, and then he'd been with his parents on the way to a new life in Brazil. Now, his parents had both entered the white jade shrine, and he was returning, sad and alone. As the ship neared the port, he was surprised to see any grey warships making steam. There was nothing he recognised in the streets of Kure, but as the road rose on the slopes of Mount Egezan, he found the Japan he knew. He paused on the mountain a while, watched the great aircraft carriers leaving port and wondered where they were bound. With his heart beating rapidly, he rang the little brass bell and bowed as the door opened. As he straightened, his pre-prepared smile died, the hand holding his gift of Brazilian coffee fell to his side and the words he'd rehearsed were forgotten. 'A thousand apologies', he mumbled, bowing deeply. 'I was expecting Mrs Matsuoka.'

If I can take on my abusive ex-husband, his aggressive legal team, and a system that rewards lies and deceit, then you can, too.

But there was adventure to be had for a young urchin who could get into and out of trouble with a quick with and quicker pair of legs. In the early fifties, this 'awkward arse' was packed up and sailed halfway around the world to Australia, where he grew into a street-savvy larrikin with Brylcreemed hair and a cheeky grin. At that age, it was all about girls, cars, and partying.
