SECOND BOOK OF A TRILOGY:
The explosions that shattered the tranquility of American embassies in Africa, the indiscriminate carnage unleashed in Bali, the audacious aerial assaults on September 11th in the United States—these events, horrific in their execution, left the world in a state of shock and reactive fear. Yet, a cold, clinical analysis confirms them for what they truly were: isolated strikes, devoid of a cohesive, overarching strategic agenda. They were tactics, not the grand strategy itself.
But beneath the surface, a more formidable adversary has been coalescing. A force, singular in its intent, driven by an unyielding desire for global dominion, operating without concession. Its playbook is ancient, meticulously detailed, designed to orchestrate an inevitable, cataclysmic collision between religion and secular power, obliterating the very distinction between good and evil.
From the corridors of power in Washington, across the sacred, contested ground of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, to the venerable, hallowed halls of the Vatican, the final gambit for global conquest has been initiated. The countdown has begun. The Advent to Judgment Day is upon us.
AGENDA
THIRD BOOK OF A TRILOGY:
The ancient prophecies, dismissed for millennia as mere myth, are stirring. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have begun their grim work, meticulously clearing the ground for a final, cataclysmic global event.
The first stroke: a sabotaged Israeli missile, armed with a lethal biological payload, launches with devastating precision against the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Simultaneously, the global financial architecture convulses. The oil-producing states of the Persian Gulf launch a coordinated and strategically executed attack on the heart of the mighty US dollar, shattering established monetary paradigms and unleashing unprecedented volatility across all major financial markets.
Concurrently, a discovery of profound, destabilizing significance emerges. Ancient scrolls, penned by a hitherto obscure seer, are unearthed. Their deciphered contents threaten to expose truths — carefully guarded secrets that the Vatican has meticulously preserved for more than two millennia.
As these disparate threads of deception and destiny intertwine, the lines of engagement blur, and the trajectory towards Judgement Day appears inexorable. The critical question remains, stark and unanswered: can the relentless march towards this prophesied destiny truly be halted?
The Japanese Occupation of Singapore during the Second World
War saw hundreds of Eurasians leaving their homes to avoid starvation only to start a farming colony in Bahau deep in the unforgiving Malayan jungle.
Largely inept at working the land, many fell to disease and malnutrition. Others, unable to cope with the primitive conditions, simply gave up the fight.
Bahau, the Elephant & the Ham recounts with stark vividness and a touch of humour, the day-to-day struggles of one ordinary family to beat the odds and eventually return home.
In the dark crucible of Singapore's Japanese Occupation, a young police inspector, stripped of his badge and his purpose, faced a world consumed by tyranny. Yet, even as shadows deepened, the flame of defiance refused to be extinguished. He found his unique path to resistance, drawn into the whispered networks of a clandestine Allied spy ring.
Meet Halford Boudewyn, just 22, living a dangerous double life. For much of the time he was just another faceless junior civil servant trying to eke out a living under the stern gaze of the Japanese military government. But when duty called he assumed the anonymous role of a humble hawker tasked with an impossible mission: to infiltrate a brutal POW camp and extract classified documents. These weren't mere papers; they were the key to averting another devastating invasion by the Imperial Japanese Army.
His courage, his ingenuity, and his unwavering commitment would determine the fate of countless lives. This is a testament to the quiet bravery that can rise even in the face of overwhelming odds, a powerful reminder that the fight for freedom often begins with a single, resolute heart.
This book was written based on notes Boudewyn left behind shortly before his death. Now for this first time, his complete story can be told.
The encroaching shadow of war descended upon Singapore with terrifying swiftness. A young family, their lives entwined with the fading promise of this British colony, made the desperate choice to flee, just days ahead of the Japanese Army's brutal invasion. Yet, the ocean, their intended escape, became their capture. The women and children were swept into years of harrowing incarceration, their innocence stripped away by the harsh realities of confinement. The men, torn from their side, faced an even grimmer fate, condemned to the unforgiving crucible of the infamous Death Railway in Burma.
In the heart of this unimaginable cruelty, amidst the relentless brutality and pervasive terror, flickered unexpected embers of kindness and compassion. This is more than just a true story, a chronicle of survival; it is a profound testament to the indomitable human spirit. It unveils how love, unwavering and fierce, how hope, fragile yet persistent, and how courage, born from the depths of despair, can pierce the suffocating darkness of war, casting a healing light where only shadows seemed to reign.
