About the book

IN THE SECOND book of this sci-fi trilogy with a utopian twist, Samuel, a small-town lawyer, is selected to lead Earth towards a new, peaceful future. His instructor, from the planet Daen, is from a race called the Eshari, who have been following the progress of planet Earth for centuries. Samuel receives intensive training to become an advanced form of human – an ʻAdultʼ – to guide the human race away from their primal and violent urges.

With powerful people and entire governments rendered unable to stand against him, Samuel begins to make changes. Rock Knighton, the worldʼs master criminal who controls most of the crime on the planet, sees his empire shrinking as a result of Samuelʼs changes. He plans Samuelʼs downfall, using the vast resources at his disposal. The arrival of an alien spaceship that accidentally crash lands near a school controlled by Rock provides him with the treasure trove of advanced technology he needs to defeat the enhanced being Samuel. The showdown between Samuel and Rock leaves Earthʼs future hanging in the balance.

“This is a book that any Sci-Fi fan would greedily consume and be left eagerly awaiting the next in the series”

At the Chameleon Turn

And so begins an unexpected new obsession…

Drawn via a bizarre and compelling dream to the small capital of South Australia, Ethan Farrell, Hollywood’s latest superstar, and exceedingly sort-after bachelor, encounters a young woman unlike any he has ever come across.

And so begins an unexpected new obsession.

Why, although he tries, and knows it would simplify matters, can he not rid his mind of this child-like woman? What is this mystifying hold she seems to have on him? His minder, Scott, acquires his own answers, while Ethan’s sister, Lucy––duly obliged to reveal a long-kept secret, inherent to her––concludes she must journey far to unravel the unexplained: as her brother’s ensuing, and confounding refusal to provide any clarity, leaves everyone wanting.

Does Ethan learn to listen; will he allow himself to hear… see beyond his own deceiving thoughts? Or does his past keep him deaf and blind. And who or what is the Chameleon?

This story is about discovery; it touches on recognising, understanding, and facing the fears hidden within. It is about betrayal, loyalty, love, and remembering who we are. It speaks of valuing what many take for granted.

Written in an unconventional style, the author’s foremost wish is that her readers develop an intimate connection with her much loved characters; that they enjoy and feel at ease with the undemanding narrative, and that with a little introspection, they can relate to and draw on the deeper message she is endeavouring to convey.

Victoria Carisimo Author

About the Author

Victoria, better known as Vicki, was born in Cordoba, Spain; she was a mere eighteen months old when, in 1963, Australia became her new and permanent home. Raised until the age of fourteen in rural Victoria—where her parents had worked as sharefarmers, growing, and harvesting tobacco—her family and she then moved to the city of Adelaide, where she has since lived.

Married young, she supported her husband in starting-up and building his profession as a manufacturing jeweller in Adelaide’s Western suburbs. They have three sons, and today, she is the proud grandmother of six.

At the Chameleon, Turn is Vicki’s first novel. The title—which imparts the third portion of a statement she unexpectedly and quite startlingly received many years ago while meditating—becomes clearer in its meaning throughout the course of the book. It contains a message for all, but more so for those willing to hear it. Whatever the case, her heuristically inspired story will at the very least, entertain.

Beethoven’s Tenth and the Journey Which Saved the World

The dutiful but plodding Dr Watson (Sherlock Holmes), the unhinged Captain Ahab (Moby Dick), the oh-so-sweet Melanie Hamilton (Gone with the Wind), the naïve if well-meaning Toto (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) are reimagined in a story of grievance, journey, forgiveness, love and changing the world through music. And not just any music. It’s 2020, Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday. If you thought his Ninth Symphony with its famous Ode to Joy was something special, wait until you read the intriguing, barely believable tale of Beethoven’s Tenth.

‘A wonderful and original little bookie. Princess Ludmilla and ones-self enjoyed it immensely. And the music by that strange German gentleman; one shall definitely purchase the record.’ King Arthur II (formerly Prince Charles) of England

‘Truly, the book for our troubled times. Inspiring, enlightening, enchanting, heart-warming … a stirring tale of hope, struggle and making the best of a shitty situation. And, finally, something new from Beethoven.’  Melody Dove, UN Ambassador for Love, Music and Peace

‘I really hate the happy ending. But we all need to improve ourselves by reading something and this is as good as anything else around.’ Hannibal Lector III
