Review:
Book five in the Tomorrow When The War Began series goes back to the tried and tested formula Marsden found success with in the first three book in the series. With the group now back in Australia and fighting the enemy and also for survival, friction and low morale hits the group again. While Ellie remains the strong heroine of the group, we see others take on slightly different roles and personalities. Kevin breaks down, Lee betrays Ellie and more survivors are found.
The group finally manages to destroy the airfield that eluded them in the previous book, but at a cost again. This book returns to fine form and is full of suspense and action like the first three.
