About the Author

Peter Bach was born in Brisbane, Australia, on 15 September,
1989. He was educated at Anglican Boys Grammar School — Churchie — in Brisbane from Year 5 through to Year 12. At the age of nineteen, Peter joined the Royal Australian Navy and after completing officers’ training at HMAS Creswell, joined the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra where he began a Bachelor of Business degree.

Peter was well-known, well-liked and respected by his friends and peers. He excelled in his academic studies as well as in leadership roles. Peter was a keen rower and represented both Churchie and ADFA Rowing.

Peter will always be remembered for being a courageous, caring young man who was kind, loyal, humble and passionate in whatever he decided to do. Having an incredible sense of humour, he had the ability to bring people together and get to know them for who they were. He was a confidant to many and always offered his support to those in need. Peter was a true humanitarian and strived to make the world a better place for us all to live in.

Peter’s legacy lives on in this book and in many other ways. His name has been added to the Wall of Honour at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra, and in the ADFA rowing shed you will find a scull named in his honour, MIDN Pete Bach.

Acknowledgements

To say that The Strange Adventures of Charles P. Dalwell meant a lot to my son Peter would be an understatement. The thought, passion and commitment that went into this book are, ironically, difficult to put into words. Peter dedicated his life to helping others, as well as finding ways to make the world a better place.

The proceeds of this book will be donated to the White Bear Foundation, which works with children and young adults to help build their self-confidence, self-esteem and self-respect through adventure workshops in a fun and safe environment. I hope you enjoy reading the science fiction novel The Strange Adventures of Charles P. Dalwell — part of Peter’s vision of a beautiful world come true.

The Book Testimonials

‘Engaging’
The foresight Peter had in writing this novel was engaging, and very reflective as to his thoughts of the universe as a whole. I do so recommend reading these adventures; I guarantee for sure any reader would find themselves thinking, as I did, we knew some of these characters from our own personal journeys in our own life.
Marlene Hindson
‘The greatest work of a very talented young writer’
What you hold in your hands is the greatest work of a very talented young writer. It’s the world’s loss that none of us will be able to read any more of his works. Pete was a generous and sympathetic young man who had empathy, wisdom and understanding of the inner machinations of people far greater than someone of his twenty-two years.
Sabrina Smithers
'What makes mankind tick’
Peter was interested in what makes mankind tick. In this story - you can read it as just that, or look more deeply into the philosophy behind it. There are many historical references and Pete tips his lid to men he found inspirational.
Margie Riley
'Utter fascination ’
The Strange Adventures of Charles P Dalwell appeals to a diverse demographic through the use of compelling characters, imaginative narrative and audaciously hidden messages throughout. I often found myself transfixed in another universe, and was in utter fascination as to how the book would end.
