BLURB - WHEN THE MOON WAS BLOOD



More than a mile away and turning, a silvery


shadow momentarily etched against the rising


sun, the Zero was readying for a return, the beat


of its radial engine drumming across the water as


it prepared for another strafing run. And with all


options seemingly exhausted Dawber knew that


this time there would be no escaping the certain


death spitting from its wing mounted machine


guns...



The Pacific. August 1942. As a Special Forces


"Z" team desperately try to escape a Japanese


ambush and reach the relative safety of Milne


Bay, Papua New Guinea, a drama of a different


kind is playing out at the Australian Army's


military HQ in Townsville. A well placed spy is


feeding vital information to the enemy


jeopardising every mission behind enemy lines as


the threatened invasion of Australia looms large.


As part of a desperate attempt to put the


marauding Imperial Japanese Forces on the


wrong track and hopefully in the process unmask


the traitor known as The Bird, Mick Dawber and


his small team of irregulars are sent back into the


impenetrable jungle on one last mission and this


time the stakes are higher than ever before.


For Mick has been lied to, set up, by his own


side in the dirtiest game of all. But then, when it



comes to playing dirty, Mick, Preacher and Face


wrote the book.


Failure was not an option. Not when revenge


was the name of the game.
