Inspired by a lecture she has attended, Regina Stanton, a young journalist, embarks upon a journey through the forces determining contemporary Australian culture. Leaving behind the vestiges of a failed romance, she travels to the Whitsunday Coast in Australia's Queensland where she meets Tyro. She spends five days basking in the sun and sampling fine wine in her new companion's monsoon forest retreat where Tyro recounts his experiences of life in Papua New Guinea, providing an insightful perspective of the political and social framework of the time. This novel is set in 2015 and offers a disturbing yet thoroughly absorbing view of a future that includes a benign conspiracy to overcome mounting civil unrest that threatens to tear Australia apart.

Apart from frequent mention of aeroplanes and airlines, "The Warp" is a collection of eclectic short stories.
It deals with emotions, humour, bad taste, stupidity, grief, flashes of brilliance, and horror; just some of life's interesting things. The author sees them all like the threads in a tapestry, while the people comprise "The Warp". The writer's chance has been to meet a lot of wild people, mostly involved, in development assistance in developing and transitional countries. We read of Remulas, a PNG Renaissance man; Chingai the disturbed and accommodating woman of Mindoro; Pete the dispossessed engineer from Zimbabwe; Gopal the good Brahman of Imphal; and Aziz and Francoise as they travel in Taj |
