About this ebook

Her father, David Mornay a retired construction engineer/ex Vietnam Marine Combat Engineer has remained in Victoria to have recently discovered life threatening wartime shrapnel removed from his neck.
The aircraft is captured by a group of Hezbollah/Hamas fighters demanding the release of top officials held in Israeli jails and is forced to land at Ilha do Sal a tiny island of the Cape Verdes Group off the West coast of Africa.
David Mornay through a series of seemingly impossible but plausible events captures a group of high ranking Hezbollah/Hamas dignitaries visiting Victoria at the invitation of the Canadian Government and he in turn demands the safe return of his daughter.
The ensuing stand off involves the CIA who have a deep cover agent on board the aircraft and the Israeli government.
Anthony Bruce
Anthony (Tony) Bruce was born in a small mining town in Zambia on the Congo border in Central Africa. His childhood was very similar to the life described by Karin Blixen in Out of Africa and he spent much of his youth hunting and fishing in the bush country. After completing his military commitment in the Royal Rhodesia Regiment he was trained by the Nchanga Corporation as a Mining and Engineering Surveyor. He married young and had two children. During this time the winds of change were sweeping through Africa and he and his family began travelling. As a family they worked and lived in Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and the United Kingdom before immigrating to Canada. Here he trained as a commercial pilot in Victoria, BC, and on completion ferried a light aircraft to England via Greenland and Iceland. Prior to leaving Canada he was hired as an air survey pilot to fly in Zimbabwe for a two-year period before transferring to the Namibian Desert to work on the Rossing project, where much of the story in The East Wind is set.Returning to Canada he worked for various Canadian companies who sent him travelling again. He has lived and worked in Malawi (railway project), Kenya (wheat research / construction), Colombia, Ecuador (mining), and Indonesia (water-resource development) with short periods back in Canada between contracts. Recently he and his wife purchased a piece of raw forest on Saltspring Island and lived in a battered mobile home for three years while building their dream home and are slowly turning five acres of wilderness into a self-sustaining enterprise.The new novel, The Consequence of Memory, departs from the previous adventure/political/espionage thrillers, The East Wind, To Taunt a Wounded Tiger, A Lie to Comfort the Dying and The Gatekeeper of Lies to a murder on a lonely hill in Kenya, that touches the lives of three men in Canada and a woman in South Africa and introduces detective Stephen Njoroge.
