Book Description
NO TIME TO DREAM is in many ways reminiscent of HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY. The background of both books largely centred on the mining valley of the Rhondda in Wales during the depression of the early twentieth century. The author Rita Molyneux herself lived in this mining valley and witnessed at fi rst hand the harshness of daily life during that period and vividly recounts them in her book. Indeed her own father suffered a broken back in a colliery accident. The Rhondda, as Gwyn Thomas once described it, poured out enough coal to have coked the world at one stroke. The valley was majestically ransacked and the coal owners became very rich men. Cruelly, little of this money stuck to the fi ngers of the people who mined the coal. Yet these people laughed, sang, worshipped and propagated at record levels and were far more precious than the coal they hauled out of the ground. In NO TIME TO DREAM the author richly evokes those times in technicolour and brings to life those characters who fi ll the pages. The story also tells of emigration of some of these characters to Australia, where they faced with bravery the vicissitudes of the new environment. In real life Rita and her husband Arthur paralleled the story of this novel, emigrating to Australia in 1964, initially to Canberra and then to Sydney. It was this experience that allowed Rita to complete the second half of her book. NO TIME TO DREAM is a rich evocation of the human spirit and a unique description of love, kindliness and courage surrounded and deepened by the dangers of the times. Read it!

Book Description
Governments pay her. Criminals fear her. Nobody sees her coming. Vanessa “Michael” Munroe deals in information—expensive information—working for corporations, heads of state, private clients, and anyone else who can pay for her unique brand of expertise. Born to missionary parents in lawless central Africa, Munroe took up with an infamous gunrunner and his mercenary crew when she was just fourteen. As his protégé, she earned the respect of the jungle's most dangerous men, cultivating her own reputation for years until something sent her running. After almost a decade building a new life and lucrative career from her home base in Dallas, she's never looked back. Until now. A Texas oil billionaire has hired her to find his daughter who vanished in Africa four years ago. It’s not her usual line of work, but she can’t resist the challenge. Pulled deep into the mystery of the missing girl, Munroe finds herself back in the lands of her childhood, betrayed, cut off from civilization, and left for dead. If she has any hope of escaping the jungle and the demons that drive her, she must come face-to-face with the past that she’s tried for so long to forget. The first book in the Vanessa Michael Munroe series, gripping, ingenious, and impeccably paced, The Informationist marks the arrival or a thrilling new talent. “Stevens’s blazingly brilliant debut introduces a great new action heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, who doesn’t have to kick over a hornet’s nest to get attention, though her feral, take-no-prisoners attitude reflects the fire of Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander….Thriller fans will eagerly await the sequel to this high-octane page-turner.” —Publishers Weekly, starred, boxed review
