Book excerpt: An offshoot military force from Indonesia collaborates with the newly established Aboriginal "Council of Land Owners" to annex Northern Australia. Their plan? To finance the removal of most of Northern Queensland’s population and seize the resource-rich territories stretching to Western Australia. Claiming local indigenous support, they aim for a swift takeover, targeting the nearly deserted Darwin as their staging area. Set in the pre-dawn of the technological age, where communication is sparse, an old soldier turned government official detects the looming threat. Unable to rally his colleagues, he covertly diverts two ODF (Operational Deployment Force – Peacekeepers) units for an "Advance to Contact" exercise south of Darwin. What unfolds is a gripping clash, testing the limits of resolve, strategy, and survival.
