The Writings of "The Intellectual Ocker" Raymond Whiteside

An interesting and exciting journey through four hundred fifty two pages of firstly, eighteen short stories, followed by a novel about a young boy, captured and taken as a slave, who then escaped and went on to be a great warrior and war chief. This story was set in the middle ages. Some of the short stories have aboriginal content set in the outback country of Australia, one of which was about two aboriginal women, one of whom was raped and held prisoner by five opal miners and rescued by the other, who was chasing a big red kangaroo with a giant opal between his toes. This suspense thriller is about rape, murder and revenge. The closing pages of the book consist of philosophies and poetries written by the author who demonstrates his amazing versatility as a writer.
