Vladimir Nabokov called Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina "one of the greatest love stories in world literature." Set in imperial Russia, Anna Karenina is a rich and complex meditation on passionate love and disastrous infidelity. Married to a powerful government minister, Anna Karenina is a beautiful woman who falls deeply in love with a wealthy army officer, the elegant Count Vronsky.

A selection of stories to entertain for when you have a spare 10 minutes, including "After the Race", by James Joyce; "Three Questions", by Leo Tolstoy; "The Child's Story", by Charles Dickens; and "A Transgression", by Anton Chekhov, read by Sir Michael Redgrave.

Anna Karenina has been described as the perfect Russian novel. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Anna Karenina is defenseless against the power of her passions once they are unleashed by the adoration of Count Vronsky. Having defied the rules of 19th century Russian society, Anna is forced to pay a heavy price. Human nature, with all its failings, is the fabric of which this great and passionate work is composed.

What was supposed to be a holiday patrol to the hot springs on the Diamantina plains turns into a nightmare for the commando, and only heroic sacrifices can save them. A startling development with the secret Pine Gap facility may prove to be a boon or a curse for their group, and for Sundown himself.

While on holiday in beautiful Western Australia, U.S. Ranger and Staff Sergeant Ben "Obi-Wan" Kennedy leads his group of special ops through a series of dangerous adventures on their return to home base, Pine Gap Secret Intelligence Facility. The dedicated and self-sacrificing team joins a team of Western Australian Police who have arrested two Revelationist spies, but the terrorists want them back – dead or alive.

In post-apocalyptic Australian desert, a small band of survivors wages a desperate battle against ruthless Revelationist terrorists. The city survivors set out to join Sundown's commandos on the edge of the Simpson Desert, but Sergeant Nulla and his motley group soon find out that the trek to sanctuary is not as safe as they'd hoped. Forced to defend their friends against a brutal assault and confronted with certain death, they react with ferocious brutality of their own.

Sundown sends the silent kangaroo shooter, Roo, to explore the possibility of resettling their community in the safety of the Flinders Ranges. But when they arrive, they encounter a foe even more dangerous than the Revelationist terrorists. Meanwhile in Adelaide, the "house rats" have found the only way to survive: Forage by night and hide by day. Sergeant Nulla and his band of survivors accidentally set up camp right under the noses of the terrorists.
