Thanks for your comment, and I hope you enjoy the book.BookReader+6 wrote: ↑14 Sep 2018, 10:54 I read 'The Warramunga's War' and loved it. I opted to pass on the second book of the trilogy, but thanks to your review, I'll be checking this one out. Kater's style of writing is very suspenseful and I'm glad this book shares the same style as the first one.

Thank you. I anticipate reading the first two.Britty01 wrote: ↑14 Sep 2018, 11:01 Great review. Now, I have another book to look forward to reading. I read the first and the 2nd is on my list to be read soon. I seem to like this author's writing style and the fact that there is no graphic violence or profanity makes it a winner for me. I think if you have time to read the other two, you will enjoy them also.

I'm looking forward to reading the other books, too. Thanks for your comment.Chandler_Greg wrote: ↑16 Sep 2018, 11:09 I read the first book in the series, The Warramunga's War and particularly enjoyed the second half of the book, when the agents were assigned back to Australia and tracked down a gang of spies and robbers. It had almost a wild-west feel to it. I'm glad to hear that Sara makes another appearance. I also enjoyed the way the author included her dialect. I worried that it might make her seem too uncivilized or uneducated, but the character was portrayed as very bright and the difference of dialogue between siblings was explained as a difference in access to the British form of education. I'll look forward to reading the other books in the series.

I have read reviews on all of these books and remain interested in the stories. You have captured the tone of the book well. I enjoyed that you let us know how adept the author is at writing dialects. Not always an easy thing to do. Thanks for the great introduction to this book.Cecilia_L wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 23:23
The plot is supported by a diverse cast of well-developed characters. I particularly enjoyed the way the author brought his characters to life through the use of their native dialects. Not only could I hear the Aussie and British accents as I read; I was introduced to new vocabulary from different languages, too. I also appreciated the author's occasional use of humor in the story.

Your review made the book more exciting than the summary of the book. That being said, is not part of my reading choice.
