Conrad de Lancey has seen enough of evil: the shadow of fear on the faces of innocents; the roar of tanks through empty streets; the sudden lull before the slaughter begins. Franco`s bloody insurrection taught this Englishman all about hell. Arriving in his mother`s country, the now Nazi Germany, Conrad is sick at heart. Even Berlin
- infamous haven of decadence & vice
- salutes fascism. Himmler`s black-shirted troops rule the city, & every German arm bears a Swastika. But does every German heart belong to Hitler? When Conrad is arrested by the Gestapo on suspicion of spying, he is rescued by Theo, an old friend from university, now a lieutenant of the Wehrmacht. Together they are drawn into a world of danger & deceit, of plots, paranoia & intrigue where the brave few are united by a single ambition: to free the fatherland from the Fuhrer.

They work during the day in mining concession &, as soon as night falls, they go out to get drunk, dance, eat & abandon themselves in Tram 83, the only night-club of the city, the den of all the outlaws.

Tramping in New Zealand is a highly innovative new tramping guide, that has been developed around the latest generation of 'bird's eye' computer-generated maps. These completely accurate panoramic overviews are constructed from map data, but because they can recreate a view of the landscape from any angle or height they provide a remarkably readable & clear way of understanding the lie of the l&. For trampers, these bird's eye maps offer a superb way of showing a tramping route in three

Dimensions, which cannot be done with a conventional topographical map. In this book the 40 most popular tramps in New Zealand are featured, each illustrated with at least one bird's eye map. These have been created by Wellington company Geographx, whose cutting-edge maps feature in the acclaimed New Zealand Geographic Atlas. The maps are also supported by relevant route information & photographs from one of New Zealand's most respected tramping authors, Shaun Barnett. The tramps covered include our best known Great Walks, such as the Milford Track, the Routeburn & the Tongariro Crossing, & many others from both islands, such as the Queen Charlotte Track, the Rees Dart near Queenstown, & the Pinnacles Hut on the Coromandel. With such a high degree of readability & visual appeal combined with the highest quality information & photographs, Tramping in New Zealand creates a new benchmark for this kind of guidebook, & is set to become a classic in this popular genre.
