The climax of The Death of John Lacey happens in a church. Through the book, Ben Hobson has us question the ethics, justice and prejudices in early Victorian gold rush times with the settlers and aboriginal communities.         Paul Ashford Harris takes us on a journey through the lives of Gertrude Bell, William D’Arcy and Sea Lord Jacky Fisher in ‘Love, Oil and the Fortunes of War’. Each altered the world through their advice, actions and conduct prior to World War One the consequences of which still resonate today.
