The Warramunga's Aftermath Of War Book Demostrates What Really Happened In My Country Some Years Back The World War That Took Place In Australia Seems It Was Avery Hard Task On Making A Dialogue For Negotiation But Windingly They Had To Have A Dialogue To Finish The Conflicts.The Story Is Interesting As It Reflects On Daily Life Challenges How To Overcome Them.This Book Is The One Tha You Can Never Judge It By It's Cover Thanks.

Thank you for your review.
I will be honest I'm fascinated by WW2 stories since both my grandparents served - but I only look for nonfiction.
This story doesn't really seem to be for me.
I can tell it will have a good reader base though and it's good it recaps the guys at the beginning.

The review is very nice. I enjoyed reading it. I guess, reading from the free sample pages, that I would have rated this book 3 out of 4 stars. Writing a lot of information that is unnecessary also will make me not give this book a perfect rating.

When yesterday's BOTD was introduced, which was the first book in this series, I was not at all interested in picking up and reading these books. After reading your review, I have most definitely changed my mind. I absolutely love criminal investigations and am extremely excited to see where the second part of the book takes us once the investigation is over. Jamie and Jacko sound like very interesting characters. So, I think I will choose to muddle through the wordy dialogue and add this series to my want to read list. Thank you for the outstanding review as always!!

What a mixed bag this book seems to be. Not sure if it is for me or not. As you say, it would be nice to read about Australia and the Philippines, but the problems with the dialog don't sound like much fun to read. Thank you for a very comprehensive review!

I'm excited to learn that part of the action in Greg Kater's The Warramunga's Aftermath of War is set in the Philippines because that's my country. And my interest is further piqued by the murder mystery and child trafficking the two protagonists, Jacko and Jamie, are investigating, as indicated in the official book review by kislani. I'm reading the first book in the trilogy, The Warramunga's War, and it appears that this Book 2 is its own story although having the same lead characters. As I said earlier, I find World War II or post-WWII stories too heavy to bear sometimes because of the cloud of doom hanging over the characters. But the Warramunga series, according to its reviewers, is continually engaging as the two protagonists team up to hunt down criminals in their missions overseas and in Australia. So I have decided to also read this Book 2 to follow the adventures of Jacko and Jamie. Thanks for the heads-up, kislani, on the stilted dialogue but it's comforting to note that it does not rob the book of its fun and engaging elements.

Child trafficking is a heavy subject for a book. I am interested in how it deals with it. Also the places sound fascinating. I think I will like this book.

Jamie and Jacko are at it again with their funny and engaging character. This is really a book worth reading.

It sounds like the is a lot happening on the book. The human traffic topic is interesting as it is still hidden.

This sounds like a fascinating read about a fascinating subject -- human trafficking. People might think this only happens in other countries, but in fact it goes on in the United States, too, and the victims are both children and adults (usually young women). A well developed story about two intelligence officers pursuing the perpetrators of this horrible crime sounds like a very compelling read. I may have to check this one out. Thanks for the review, kislany. :techie-studyingbrown:

What a fascinating sounding story! Thank you for this interesting review, too. I’m not sure I’m sold though, as I’m not a lover of historical fiction and not currently in to series books. Sounds great for someone who is though!

This yet another book review of the trilogy that started with warramunga's war. But this time it is a post war one. Our two high-spirited characters are back in their home country, they are the heads of Darwin office of Commonwealth investigation service. The case about children trafficking captured my ego and I wish I will have time to read this book.
