Taipan One Six is back—betrayal, rescue, and revenge in Taliban territory.Damien Hunter leads Taipan One Six, a covert team that takes on missions no one else will touch. But even in the shadows, they’re not invincible. Their last operation in Afghanistan left one of their own behind, and Damien has never forgiven himself. Seeking peace in the Australian outback, he’s pulled back into the fray when a desperate plea arrives.Homaria Radrizzani, an international sportswoman, languishes in an Afghan prison, awaiting execution at the hands of the Taliban. Alongside her, other female athletes face the same grim fate. Then, out of the darkness, the long-lost Taipan operator—abandoned during that blood-soaked mission—makes contact after years in captivity.Now, Taipan One Six must mount a daring rescue: save Homaria and her fellow prisoners or let them die. But there’s more at stake—Damien must also retrieve his old comrade. Given an ultimatum by his handler, Damien is forced to command a mission that prioritises the women or walk away forever.Driven by guilt and loyalty, Damien will stop at nothing to save his friend, tearing through Afghanistan’s treacherous Banyam Province in a storm of violence. But as the mission unfolds, he must confront the darkest parts of his past. Can he save them all before time runs out?

One Australian woman is hospitalised every three hours and two more lose their lives each week as a result of family violence. But for some women, there is a punishment far more enduring than injury or their own death.Look What You Made Me Do, is a timely exploration of the evil inflicted by vengeful fathers who have killed their own flesh and blood simply to punish partners for ending unrewarding – often abusive – relationships.Focussing on ten different, but equally harrowing cases of ‘spousal revenge’ dating back thirty years, award winning author Megan Norris, draws upon her own experience as a former court and crime reporter, to examine the horrific murders of eighteen children who were the collateral damage in crimes where the real target of their angry dad’s rage was their mother.From the 2018 cold-blooded shooting murders of Sydney teenagers, Jack and Jennifer Edwards, whose abusive businessman father was granted a licence to kill by the NSW Firearms Registry, despite a shocking history of family violence dating back three decades, to the heinous premeditated homicides of Queensland mum, Hannah Clarke, who succumbed to her own horrific injuries after watching her three young children burn to death at the hands of their violent father, this book shows it is not only women who are at risk when family violence turns deadly.Now recognised as the ultimate act of domestic violence a man could inflict on his partner, Norris’s award-winning book shines a light on the disturbing connection between family violence and retaliatory homicide and explores the shattering legacy of grief that such crimes have on surviving mothers.A book that allows these serious crimes to be better understood and ultimately informs and advocates for new approaches to managing these complex and deadly situations.
