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 Armys

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.
