"This is the story of two families – branches of the Solomons – transported to an alien land, both of whom eventually grow rich and powerful but who, through three generations, never for one moment relinquish their hatred for each other. It is also the story of our country from the beginning until we came of age as a nation.

I have learned a great deal about Australia and those things which concern us as a people and make us, in many ways, who we are today. To write this book, I visited Gallipoli and came away deeply saddened by the terrible waste of our young blood. We would never be quite the same again. It has been a grand adventure and I hope that you will find Solomon's Song a good and powerful story. No writer can possibly hope for more."

Ben Elton’s earth-shattering début novel, a satirical thriller.

Stark is a secret consortium with more money than God, and the social conscience of a dog on a croquet lawn. What's more, it knows the Earth is dying. Deep in Western Australia where the Aboriginals used to milk the trees, a planet-sized plot is taking shape. Some green freaks pick up the scent: a pommie poseur; a brain-fried Vietnam vet; Aboriginals who have lost their land...not much against a conspiracy that controls society. But EcoAction isn't in society: it just lives in the same place, along with the cockroaches. If you're facing the richest and most disgusting scheme in history, you have to do more than stick up two fingers and say 'peace'. 

Murray Whelan thinks the everyday life of a political advisor is complicated enough: but now there are intimations of intrigue among the party powerful and his ex-wife is mounting a custody battle over his beloved son. So when you throw in a Turk snap-frozen in a local meat plant, drugs planted under the bed, fascist funeral rites, a killer car and blood-sucking parasites, things are suddenly spinning wildly out of control. That's when red-hot Ayisha knocks on the door...

A bunch of Aussies have spent the day at the beach. They wind up in one blokes backyard, where the barbie is firedup and loaded with grub steaks and veg and such. Later, over a cold drink, one bloke starts telling stories.

They are some of the best known and best loved stories in the world; stories that have been told on every continent on earth; stories that have been circling the world for 2,000 years. They are stories about the carpenter who changed history as he traveled the Outback with his mates. This time those stories are retold in real, fair dinkum, Aussie English.

With its own Australian take on "In the beginning...", The Aussie Bible starts off with the world-known and disarmingly friendly, Gday! that Australians are famous for.

From A Gigantic Picnic (The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes) to an Aussie-style Psalm 23 to the Glossary, The Aussie Bible is a smash hit pageflipper for all ages that has already sold over 110,000 copies worldwide.
