About the Book

MAO'S MISTAKE When Chairman Mao ordered his arch-rival's plane to be shot down back in 1971, he unwittingly set in train a series of events that, forty years later, threatens to hand over control of China to a ruthless group of powerful men whose only objective is to get their hands on the country's enormous wealth. They must time their coup to coincide with the opening of the Olympic Games when all the eyes of the world are focussed on Beijing. SO THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS Mack Macdonald, a former Special ops soldier is an unwitting pawn in the game, and the beautiful Sally Chong, an expatriate Chinese with a mysterious past who suddenly enters Macdonald's life, becomes a key figure in the race to thwart the plot, while behind the scenes, a spymaster and the leader of a secret society are pulling the strings. The action sweeps across the globe from the exotic ancient cities of the fabled Silk Road to the bustling streets of modern day Istanbul, from Melbourne's Chinatown to the secluded world of Oxford's academia. AND THE CLOCK KEEPS TICKING ... ...
About the Author: Alistair Smith has been a professional writer all his working life. His career began as a journalist in his native Scotland, before he was recruited to join Australia's largest newspaper group where he worked for its mass-circulation publications, covering the major news stories of the day and later becoming a feature writer. He had spells as a public relations executive with one of the country's biggest corporations and as a newsletter publisher before concentrating on freelance travel writing, successfully selling his articles to major newspapers and magazines: tabloids, broadsheets and glossies, as well as contributing to books, and in the process winning major awards for his work. He has been made an Honorary Member of the Australian Journalists' Association, was a full member of the Australian Society of Travel Writers, and holds a Diploma of Travel (International Operations.) His extensive travels means that he has personal knowledge of many of the exotic locales in which his novel, The Eighth Day, is set.
