The heart-stopping, disaster-dealing sequel to LAPEL.

1989. Peter Piper and police inspector Robbie Burns are now national icons and heroes, awarded for their bravery in exposing and thwarting an Australian coup d'état. At last, the public functions and saturation media coverage are slowing down. Can they look forward to loved-up futures with the women they found in their life-and-death struggle to save the nation?

But basking in the international limelight for preserving democracy has made them prime targets for vengeance. An international arms dealer teams up with the revolutionary leader of a pariah state. The stakes are huge for Piper and Burns and, once again, for Australia.

Disaster has a deadline and Peter and Rob are moving targets. If they can survive, they will chase down facts and phantoms across countries, oceans and airways.

LOOMING AUGUST EIGHTH is a story of elite assassins, international terrorist activity, and a plot that may tip Australia into war.
