Title: Semut: The Untold Story of a Secret Australian Operation in WWII Borneo

Author: Christine Helliwell

Narrator: Christine Helliwell, Dorje Swallow

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:53:41

Language: English

Release date: 07-02-21

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, Military, Social Science, Australia & Oceania

Summary:

March 1945. A handful of very young Allied operatives are parachuted into the remote jungled heart of the Japanese-occupied island of Borneo, east of Singapore, there to recruit the island's indigenous Dayak peoples to fight the Japanese. Yet most speak next to no Borneo languages and know little about Dayaks, other than that they were once headhunters who might kill them on arrival. For their part, some Dayaks have never before seen a white face.

This is the story of Operation Semut, an Australian secret military operation launched by the organisation popularly known as Z Special Unit in the final months of WWII. Anthropologist Christine Helliwell has called on her years of first-hand knowledge of Borneo, interviewed more than one hundred Dayak people and all the remaining Semut operatives, and consulted thousands of military and other documents to piece together this astonishing story. Focusing on two of Borneo's great rivers - the Baram and Rejang - the book provides a detailed military history of Semut II's and Semut III's brutal guerrilla campaign against the Japanese, and reveals the decisive but long-overlooked Dayak role in the operation.

But this is no ordinary history. Helliwell captures vividly the terrors of the jungle environment into which the operatives are plunged. And she takes us into the lives and cavernous longhouses of the Dayaks on whom their survival depends. The result is a truly unique account of the meeting of two very different cultures amidst the savagery of the Pacific War.

Title: Escape from Manus: The untold true story

Author: Jaivet Ealom

Narrator: Roy Joseph

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:17:45

Language: English

Release date: 07-02-21

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

The awe-inspiring story of the only person to successfully escape from Australia's notorious offshore detention centre on Manus Island.

In 2013 Jaivet Ealom fled Myanmar's brutal regime, where Rohingya like him were being persecuted and killed, and boarded a boat of asylum seekers bound for Australia. Instead of receiving refuge, he was transported to Australia's infamous Manus Regional Processing Centre.

Blistering hot days spent in shipping containers on the island melted into weeks, then years until, finally, facing either jail in Papua New Guinea or being returned to almost certain death in Myanmar, he took matters into his own hands.

Drawing inspiration from the hit show Prison Break, Jaivet meticulously planned his escape. He made it out alive but was stateless, with no ID or passport. While the nightmare of Manus was behind him, his true escape to freedom had only just begun.

How Jaivet made it to sanctuary in Canada in a six-month-long odyssey by foot, boat, car and plane, with nothing but his instinct for survival, is miraculous.

His story will astonish, anger and inspire you. It will make you reassess what it means to give refuge and redefine what can be achieved by one man determined to beat the odds.

Title: Islamic Antichrist Myth: Why the Beast Is Not an Arab or a Muslim

Author: Charles K. Bassett

Narrator: Michael Beck

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:58:55

Language: English

Release date: 07-02-21

Publisher: ONE Audiobooks

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Biblical Studies, Counseling & Inspirational

Summary:

THE ANTICHRIST — SWORD OF ISLAM…OR SCOURGE OUT OF EUROPE?

Now, more than ever, an increasing number of experts are convinced that the Antichrist will not come out of Europe. Instead, they say, he will come from one of the Islamic nations that now surround Israel.

However, this is one case where the experts are almost certainly wrong. Indeed, a thorough analysis of the pertinent data proves that it’s actually impossible for the Antichrist to be a Muslim or an Arab. And all of that data and analysis can be found in The Islamic Antichrist Myth ― the powerful, new essay by Charles K. Bassett.

In this exciting book readers will learn why:

• The characteristics of the Mahdi (Islam’s hoped-for messiah) do not shed light on the Antichrist’s homeland or religion.

• The people responsible for destroying the Temple in 70 A.D. were not the Arabs, but the Romans.

• The Bible does not say that the Antichrist will conquer Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece.

• The Antichrist is not the leader of the Islamic nations, but their bitter enemy.

All of these concepts, and many more, are fully covered in The Islamic Antichrist Myth. And they lead to one conclusion: The Antichrist cannot be a Muslim hero. Instead, he must be a Roman Caesar who will lead the world to ruin…and the Battle of Armageddon!

Summary:

Death is no longer a mystery. The magic of eternity has been found.

I often hear people wondering if life carries on after death. It always makes me smile. That's exactly what happens. And I used to think no one would discover the truth while they were alive. I was wrong. A sixteen-year-old boy just did. His name is Jonathan Powers and this is his story.

Jonathan's from a planet called Centurian, but that's not where his story begins. It begins on Earth with the tragic death of a boy from London whose soul travelled from Earth to Centurian and became part of Jonathan. That much is as it should be. Humans join the consciousness of other humans on a distant planet when they die.

It's what happened next that I don't understand. Jonathan entered the world of the dead, alive. I'm still searching for answers to how he did it and I'm supposed to know about these things. My name is Rose. I'm a little robin. You might have met me outside your house or in a local park. Don't worry if you haven't, you'll meet me inside this book. I'm helping Jonathan find a way home. It's one thing to go where only the dead have been, quite another to find a way back.
