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.
