Bøker av Andy Fletcher

Captain Jin Li is a Chinese Special Forces Soldier who is part of a Chinese Invasion force that moves into Cairns on the tail of Cyclone Karen. The Australian Prime Minister is on holiday in Hawaii and no-one else notices that the Country has been invaded. Communications are down and the roads blocked by floods. Captain Jin befriends Andy and his son Jude in Cairns. When the Chinese decide to pull out, Australia is still blissfully unaware that they have been invaded. Captain Jin decides to defect, and stay in Australia, so he asks Andy, Jude, and local First Nations boy Jason for help. They head for Darwin in Andy's car, closely followed by a Chinese Hit Squad. Papua New Guinea boys Tibu, and his Sniper Pal Tibu travel through time from WW2 Rabaul to bring Captain Li's Parents out of China. They are joined by two Thai Monks, all of whom have to deal with Chinese Hit Squads wherever they go. Which includes the Adelaide Hills.

Andy Fletcher has been speaking on science and spiritual questions for 30+ years in 45 or so countries in nearly 300 schools, in churches, on cruise ships, at colleges and universities, once in the basement children's' play room at a McDonald's in Paris, once on a cement pad in a Panamanian jungle, once at a former Soviet Pioneer camp in Uzbekistan, twice at a hotel on the beach in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, once at a house church in Shanghai, once at the US Russian Embassy's Far Dacha out in the forest somewhere, and a lot more. He was the sole speaker at nearly 60 conferences for multiple schools in 20 countries and has spoken or keynoted at a number of other conferences around the globe, generally but not always for teachers and administrators. List on the website. He's also written seven books on science with a pass at faith in each - relativity, quantum mechanics, chaos, complexity, the Anthropic Principle, the Multiverse and all the cool stuff like big bang, black holes, Schroedinger's Cat, the Butterfly Effect, emergent complexity, and the evidence for the existence of God as it is found in science and nature. You know - fine-tuning, observer-dependency, that kind of thing. This book specifically deals with God questions as they pertain to all of that, and much more.

Tibu, Tovaira, Tomarum, and eleven year old Prahu skipper Elijah then solve the riddle of the Australian Submarine AE-1's disappearance.
