James and Jack are sent to Egypt for a mission. I am not into historical fiction so I will be skipping this book. I hope historical fiction lovers will enjoy this book. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!

Thanks for your review. I wonder if there will be some new information about the Egyptian pyramids, Sphinx, and Giza.

Great review. Though historical fiction is out of my interest, I like war stories. So, I may consider reading this one.

When writers write from the third person point of view, they detach themselves from the story and present things objectively. Thanks for the review.

I always liked movies and books(novels) based on war, and after reading it I am not disappointed , It's perfect to read and the content makes you live the moment of Nazi period.

In some instances, war movies thrill me. This, right here is one if them. The storyline is captivating and I loved the fact that it was set in Egypt. Congratulations on the book of the day.

This historical fiction book with espionage seems to bring the development of a friendship between James and Jack, who were in the Australian troops that fought the Nazi, and after that they were transferred to Egypt, where some adventures happen. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

I enjoy reading historical fiction. The setting of the story in Egypt with its ancient structures of pyramids adds more suspense to the book. Thanks for a detailed and wonderful review!

Historical fiction author Greg Kater kicks off his series with The Warramunga's War, which follows Australian soldiers as they fight in Syria during World War II to uncover and eliminate German operatives in communication with General Rommel. This series has all the makings of a great read. Well done!
