El telepredicador Richland recibe una llamada del marchante de arte Roland Wheeler para proponerle la compra de un cuadro por veinticinco millones de dólares, un precio desorbitado que sin embargo esta dispuesto a pagar. Se trata de una imagen del rostro de Cristo del siglo I, ordenada por Pilato despues de la flagelacion y que concede el don de la vida a su poseedor. Y el predicador esta convencido de que la imagen lo curara del cancer. T.K. Malloy, ex agente de la CIA, recibe su primera mision como detective por cuenta propia: recoger el cuadro en el banco suizo donde esta depositado y entregarlo en el aeropuerto a Bob Whitefield, hombre de confianza del predicador. Pero a partir de aqui todo empezara a complicarse, porque hay varios grupos dispuestos a hacerse con la imagen a cualquier precio.

The second book in the Aussie Soldier series, Aussie Soldier: Prisoners of War by Denny Neave and Craig Smith, details the lives of the men and women who found themselves on the wrong side of the wire. This collection of heartfelt stories and anecdotes from Australian POWs will take you on their very personal journeys. Surviving as a prisoner of war required as much strength of character as any hard fought battle. Some lived to tell their tales about extreme suffering, mateship and hardship and many would carry with them forever the memories of those who died. Almost 35,000 Australian service personnel were taken prisoner during the Boer War, World War 1, World War 2 and the Korean War. As POWs are relatively few in number, their stories often take a back seat when it comes to tales about battles and conflict situations. Like most soldiers, former prisoners do not like reliving the horrors of war and their time in captivity. This is a collection of the stories of our Australian POWs. Interviews, questionnaires, written records, images and letters provide an insight into captivity and the joy and fears that came with their release. These vivid and compelling stories highlight the contradictions of war: the compassion and generosity on the one hand and the cruelty, hate and indifference on the other.

This book is a collection of short stories, diary extracts, letters, anecdotes and quotes from past and present serving soldiers. From WW1 to modern day conflicts, this book is an up close and personal perspective of what the soldier regards as his core values. These include compassion, mateship, courage, initiative, loyalty, integrity and trust. Aussie Soldier includes a 30-page battle book that summarises some of Australias most famous battles.
