Year of the Red Sun

Australia was never invaded.

There were no soldiers on the streets, no tanks outside Parliament House and no foreign flag raised over Canberra.

There was no need.

When Senator Paul Harradine begins questioning a series of seemingly unrelated decisions buried within decades of Australian government policy, he turns to an old schoolmate, private investigator Bailieu Wilson. What begins as curiosity soon reveals something far more disturbing.

Debt. Trade. Migration. Defence. Foreign investment. Senior appointments.

Each decision is perfectly explainable.

Together, they may have changed the country.

As Harradine and Wilson follow a trail stretching back more than thirty years, they discover that the greatest threat to Australian sovereignty may not come from an enemy attacking from outside, but from a system that has been quietly working exactly as intended.

And somewhere inside that system are people who have spent a lifetime waiting.

By the time Australia understands what has happened, there may be nothing left to stop.

Year of the Red Sun is a chilling political thriller about power, patience and the frightening possibility that a nation can lose control of its future without ever realising the moment it happened.
