SUMMARY: The Warramunga’s Aftermath of War encapsulates the investigation into the post-war activities of a major criminal organisation with tentacles to the USA, Australia and South East Asia. When a fishing boat is discovered in distress in rough seas northwest of Darwin in late 1945, former army officer, Jamie Munro, and educated half-caste Warramunga aborigine, Jack “Jacko” O’Brien, who head the CIS in Darwin, are called on to investigate child smuggling operations
The BookViral Review: Originality and authenticity always make for great books and Greg Kater delivers both in this second release in his Warramunga’s War series. An enthralling blend of mystery and spy thriller that whips along at a cracking pace Jamie and Jacko’s focus has now turned to post-war criminal activities with the latest mission taking them to Manilla. Intelligent and immediately engaging, Kater revels in the complexity of his tale as he weaves converging plot lines that stretch from the Philippines to the Australian bush. Writing in crisp prose and only lingering in the detail when it isn’t to the detriment of his storyline, Kater has a meticulous eye for detail. It is evident in the characters he creates and the authenticity he brings to his shadowy world, as he boldly explores a forbiddingly tragic subject. On this level Kater deals with the gritty side of spycraft but whilst the first half does a splendid job of establishing mood and characters it’s the second half that will have you perching on the edge of your seat! Not knowing who is to be trusted and wondering how Jamie and Jacko will emerge emotionally and physically unscathed.
More highly entertaining reading from an author at the top of his game. Fans of the series will certainly enjoy this latest release in Kater’s series and The Warramunga’s War is highly recommended.
A mischievously clever and slickly humorous sci-fi comedy novel The Alas League saga continues with The Lost Ark with Falardeau delivering fun and reflection in equal measure as he gently tweaks the fanaticism of science fiction while at the same time validating it.
A beautifully observed snapshot that brings the angst of youthful thoughts to the fore, Smiths characters simply come to life as she creates vivid images of her young protagonist’s year of change. Providing richness of detail, a powerful theme and impressive mastery of a constantly shifting tone.
Resolver is not just about the story it’s about style with Whippler succeeding in freshening the genre formula. It’s fast and tight and playful even when it’s sadistic and violent, which is often, and whilst a relatively short novel at 250 pages it feels longer in a good way because every page is packed tight with action and intrigue.
As fantastical as science fiction seems, there is often something familiar about the incredible concepts dreamt up by its writers. In fact, not only familiar at times but eerily accurate about future advances. Is this some kind of scientific prophesy? Is there something sinister going on?
Treyton Templeton makes a welcome return to his nefarious ways with a crime yarn that turns the air so blue you can swim in it in Anderson’s latest release Who Scares Wins!
Constant speed-reading and jumping from one hyperlink to the next have subconsciously trained our minds to absorb information superficially
