Featured Official Review: Skills of the Warramunga by Greg Kater [October 2019 Book of the Month]

[Jeremie Mondejar]

I am looking foreward to read this book because I already read the other series. I am excited to know how the other membet of the team will rescue Johnny. I guess, Sarah's character will addd humor, too, as she did in the other book.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction about a former army officer, his friend and a skilled tracker on the trail of a group of bandits holding a British intelligence officer prisoner. It is worth a second look. Well done.

I like this intriguing plot to this novel which includes kidnap of a high ranking intelligence officer. I look forward to reading on the tracking ability of the famed Warramunga. Thanks for the insightful review.

Sounds like a good historical fiction to me. I like the diversity in this book and you review it very well. I will add this book in my shelves. Thank you.

It's nice that, although a trilogy, it can stand alone (as I have not read the others). It sounds like an action packed adventure novel. I'm willing to give it a go!

[Scarlet Nicoll]

I have read a book that belong to this series and it was good. Highly recommend this author's work. Thank you!

[Kathleen Wolfe]

I like the sound of this one. I normally wouldn't read this without reading the others but the mystery of the missing persons and the robberies is just too intriguing to stay away from. The fact that the characters are well developed and that there is humour included makes it even better. Thank you for an engaging review!

Thanks for the review, especially pointing out that the book can stand on its own. Sometimes I tend to read books out of order, picking them off the shelf of a library or bookstore and end up reading it, unaware that its a part of a series. I usually love a lot of books in the Historical Action genre, so I am interested in trying it and the other books in the series out.

Many thanks for this amazing review; however, I have to pass this book since I do not think it is one of those books that I would love to read.

I am so glad to hear this book is written so it can be read independently from the earlier ones in the series! I think that shows how talented the author is to write it that way. Great review!

I am so excited to hear this book can be read independently from the previous books in the series! That shows the author is a very skilled writer. Great review!

Skills of the Warramunga by Greg Kater is the third book of the series. Kidnapping, theft, murder, these are interesting topics to read. I liked the 2 books that published earlier. This is also a winner.

This sample has me interested! Written well and very visual.

It's possible that the genre is what's turning me off, but I was not as fond of this book as everyone else. I've only read the sample but I found it difficult to stay engaged in the beginning. The first paragraph; so interesting! I think Greg Kater did an amazing job at writing an opening scene that, at least personally, made me want to continue reading. However, as the first chapter evolved, I felt there was too much backstory written so soon, too much not dialogue, and not enough character development (which I know is a different opinion from other reviews). Not that we should know everything about everyone in the first chapter (the opposite, in fact), but I didn't get a sense for any of the character's personalities. Even after four chapters later, I still don't really have a sense of who Johnny Cook is, nor our trio trying to rescue him. I'm curious as to how the rest of the novel plays out and if all my concerns are addressed before the end.

The story tells us about the strong bond of friendship formed in the syrian campaign during the horrors of war. A book with a Beautifully crafted plot is a mixture of humor and sharp writing. There are many interesting twists in the story which keeps you hooked to the book.
