Story summaries

• The Man From St. Petersburg
• By Ken Follett
• One day in May, 1914, a Russian prince arrives in London. Ostensibly he is there to visit his aunt and uncle, the earl and countess of Walden. Only a few know the real purpose of Prince Orlov's trip: to work out a treaty of the highest importance in the face of impending war with Germany.... While the men negotiate, Lydia Walden prepares for her daughter Charlotte's presentation at court. Beyond the protection afforded by the Walden mansion lurks an anarchist sworn to murder the prince, a fanatic whose secret hold over Lydia empowers him to destroy her private world even as he threatens to tip the balance of world power.... Here again is that heady mix of suspense and romance that gripped readers of Eye of the Needle and The Key to Rebecca and has become the unmistakable Ken Follett trademark.


• Fever
• By Robin Cook
• Brilliant cancer researcher Charles Martel is certain he is on the verge of a major medical discovery when, out of the blue, two cruel blows disrupt his life. His beloved daughter, Michelle, is stricken with leukemia, and his employer, the Weinburger Research Institute, forces him to drop his project and take up the threads of another. Any man might crack under such stress, and Cathryn Martel agonizes helplessly as her husband's behavior grows more and more bizarre. Despondent over his job and desperate to save his daughter from treatment he considers misguided, Charles finally takes a step that could ruin all their lives. Is he madman or hero? In the dramatic days that follow, his family and colleagues watch and wonder.


• The Tall Soldier
• By Manuel Alvarez
• On July 28, 1938, at the height of the Spanish Civil War, twelve-year-old Manuel Alvarez was saved from certain death by a soldier of Canada's Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion. Having taken the badly injured boy to the nearest first-aid station in the devastated town of Corbera, the soldier returned to battle. From the only Spanish words his rescuer spoke to him ("Yo Canadiense"), young Alvarez knew that he was a Canadian and the boy later made a vow to his father that he would one day find "the tall soldier" and thank him for saving his life. Manuel Alvarez's search took forty years. This is the story of that search.


• Sara Dane
• By Catherine Gaskin
• Rescued by Lieutenant Andrew Maclay from the convict hold aboard a ship bound for Sydney Cove, Sara Dane begins a new life in a new land. Beautiful, proud, headstrong, and destined to dominate the lives of four men, Sara follows her high ambition unswervingly and experiences both joy and tragedy, rewards and sorrows in full measure during the years that follow. Her adventures are skilfully intermingled with the picaresque early history of the colony, creating a vivid impression of those turbulent years. The saga of Sara Dane, from the pen of an internationally acclaimed author has become one of the most popular Australian novels ever written.
