I'm not overly interested in historical fiction/non-fiction, but this seems like a very thrilling adventure series. Good plot, good characters, fun backdrop. I can see the appeal for others. Fantastic review!

Nice review. Opening this book will feel like going somewhere I have not been. I like the feeling. The book is interestingly action packed. Please let me know the titles of the other two books by Greg Kater.

I like the diverse characters portrayed in thin book that includes the Aboriginal tribe of Australia. Having read the author's first book, Warramunga's war, I look forward to reading this as well. Nice review.

I like the twist that the author brought into this book. An MI6 operative kidnapped in error. That's one hell of a problem to solve. The book sounds thrilling and captivating.

I liked that you mentioned that it is a stand-alone book despite it being the third in the series. I have liked Jacko and the colonel's team-up ever since book one, so this is another adventure to read. You made it sound very thrilling. Thanks for this review!
