In this second book in the 'The Warramunga's' series the author combines vivid action, intense drama and a variety of severe themes in the book. We follow various riveting characters as they join gangs, save the day and fight evil through their good deeds. The Warramunga's Aftermath of War had me completely engrossed in the story. Greg Kater excellent writing skills are on full display, he certainly knows how to engage his readers. The characters are all well defined and given special traits that help characterize them as well as help them in their acts.

We follow characters as investigations are conducted into post-war activities of a huge criminal organization with American, South East Asia and Australian links. Jamie Munro and Jack "Jacko" O'Brien were wonderful in their roles. There is something about the two working as a pair that made me like them more individually. Both Munro and O'Brien, who head the CIS in Darwin, pull their resources and lead the absorbing investigation that involves child smuggling financed and supported by big sharks. The investigations are not easy, as the people involved are powerful, wealthy and dangerous.

I liked Munro and O'Brien as the two were consistence and persistence in their mission. Even with the risks involved. Both had to focus on the work they were doing and ignore distractions. Sara was another great character. She was sharp, intelligent and foresaw events way before they happened. I like her as an individual as the traits she portrayed helped nail some of the bad guys. War time is probably not the most ideal time to form friendships, but the circumstances enabled Munro and O'Brien to become close and bond over issues, and shows you how tight a bond can be when formed in war time.

I loved the virtual tour across Australia and the Philippines as the author explored the exotic landscapes in vivid detail. I enjoyed reading the easy flowing conversations among the characters. The dialogue was amazing and was imbued with a sense of humor that elevated the story. Nailing criminal gangs and especially those with international ties is no easy feat. You will love the plethora of characters from diverse settings, and especially those who get to play unlikely heroes. The Warramunga's Aftermath of War is the ideal read for you if you love action, suspense, and adventure.

When predators crawl out of the ruins

The Warramunga's Aftermath of War by Greg Kater is a meld of political thriller, mystery, and historical narrative, a tale with a strong historical setting. A fishing boat is discovered in distress in the rough seas northwest of Darwin in late 1945. Jamie Munro and Jack "Jacko" O'Brien are called to investigate - the story behind the boat could be linked to a sinister trade: human trafficking and a group of shadowy, powerful, and wealthy pedophiles who finance child smuggling, with links to the Philippines, the US, and Australia amongst the ruins of war.
Jamie Munro and Jack "Jacko" O'Brien are very believable characters and an unusual pair, two characters with two distinct cultural backgrounds yet sharing one thing in common - the fight against crime. The writing is refined, genuine, and real, and this realism becomes one of the most appealing element in Greg Kater's novel. The setting in the Philippines after the Japanese occupation is vividly captured in the prose and the social commentaries allow readers clear images of the setting. The Warramunga's Aftermath of War covers a variety of themes and that make the narrative relevant - human trafficking, war, and adventure. The novel is engaging and filled with unexpected surprises and an unpredictability in plot that keeps readers turning the pages. It's an exciting read, indeed!
