  • THE LAST CONSPIRACY - Allen Gray Published in March 2000, this novel is set in the future - 2004. "These tapes, the tapes herein transcribed, are the product of a man whom I saw but once, and even then, merely as the bodily remains ... chained and trapped, in a crashed helicopter, high in the Richardson Mountains". This book is about the voice recording of a man who had only two days to live and only two cassette tapes to tell his story. And it is intriguing, too! Foreign conspiracies, multinational manipulations, the mafia, political corruption - it's all here! As entertaining as it is horrific, you won't be able to put this short novel down! It is dedicated to the Green movements of the world. Allen Gray is a Green Party activist who lives in Oamaru, New Zealand.

    POSITIVELY ARCHITECTURE. Gerald Melling. This book, on the revolutionary architecture of Wellington's Roger Walker, has sold well in New Zealand , Australia and the USA. For those who prefer Walker's blending, innovative and pleasant style of architecture to the mindless steel and glass blocks in most NZ cities, this is the book for you. In the early 1980's he designed the Wellington Club building around the big tree in the Terrace. "When I was designing the Wellington Club, I felt intuitively that some time in the future such a valuable site could be threatened by the demolition contractor and replaced with a 20-story tower, so I deliberately over-structured the building - it's massively strong - in the hope that the resultant heavy cost of demolition might dissuade future entreneurs from destroying it," said Roger Walker at the time. Famous last words. It was destroyed and replaced by just such a 20-story tower.

    POSITIVELY ARCHITECTURE - Gerald Melling / ISBN 0 908562 76 4, Colour Plates. $29.95, PAPERBACK (normal retail) REDUCED TO $14.95.
