The Third Last Communiqué and The Second Last Communiqué by D.J. Hall
On Tour 23rd – 29th January 2023
Publication Day: 4th October 2021
Three people with unique gifts from totally different backgrounds will come together in the most extraordinary of circumstances. Through tragedy and euphoria, these three individuals will discover mind-bending knowledge that could change the world as we know it forever.
James, an Australian family man, becomes increasingly disturbed by nightly visits from an unknown entity. Haloke, a female native American astronaut, unwittingly gets caught up in the most bizarre of hoaxes after discovering a Coca-Cola can on the surface of Mars. And Nadeeka, a little girl living in a small fishing village in Sri Lanka, suffers horrendous injuries after stepping on a landmine while playing on a banana plantation.
Found guilty of murdering his psychiatrist, James is committed to a psychiatric prison ward for life. Submerging into mental chaos when he discovers he has and will live again in another time and place. Befriending an Aboriginal corrections officer while serving out his sentence, they both uncover together what James’s mission in life is to be, from an unfathomable visitor who finally reveals who and what he is.
After returning to Earth from the international mission to Mars, Haloke’s life becomes intolerable, as the press and the U. S. Government hound and scrutinise her relentlessly over her suspected involvement in the embarrassing episode that had occurred on the red planet. Succumbing to alcoholism, she seeks refuge with her grandfather on a Navajo Indian reservation. While living there, she experiences inexplicable trances, causing her to write down complex mathematical theorems on bits of scrap paper that are so advanced, making everything that had come before redundant.
Recovering in hospital from the loss of both her legs, Nadeeka mysteriously develops tremendous skills in painting, compared to such geniuses as Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Vermeer. Her photorealism art of the Brazilian Rainforest vegetation is so accurate. It beggars belief that she has never seen any images or never visited the world-famous rain forest. This phenomenon astounds everyone, especially a renowned botanist who attends her first art exhibition. Noting she had illustrated rare trees and plants to the finest of details and unbeknownst to the botanist, Nadeeka has also painted yet-to-be-discovered flora that will finally cure every known and yet to come human disease.
James is the linchpin to this strange tale of futuristic intrigue. Ultimately he will visit both Haloke and Nadeeka in another dimension in their moments of dire need, comforting them as he finally comes to terms with the unanswered questions of our times. The story ends as it began, only it happens at a different time and in another place.
