Thirty-Three Days
What you need to know before your trail
Jenny is a lonely university lecturer who’s consciousness has traveled back in time to her younger body to try to save the future of the world. A young microbiologist is going to release a genetically modified wheat that will mutate and ultimately destroy all plant life, leaving nothing but barren windswept dust bowls. In the past, Jenny finds a love that has been missing from her life; the kind that comes just once in a lifetime. But Jenny can only stay in that time period for thirty-three days. Meanwhile, in the future, fearful Jenny will fail, plans are made to send another back in time–an assassin. How can she choose between saving the man she loves or saving the future?

Travel Guide
Travel (back in time) BookTrail style for Thirty-three days
The landscape of Perth is neatly evoked as is the wider farming landscape of Australia. This story delves into the issues of the environment, genetic modification – all issues that are extremely apt and timely today.
The rivers, the faraway places up and down the river showcase the distances even within one Australian town/city. There is a sense that those living in the urban areas feel and understand differently from those living and working on the land.
The Australian version of soccer gets a nice airing! Even if you know nothing about the game, you soon will!
