One day I will finally understand how it is that I can find a book in a series intriguing (DEAD CAT BOUNCE in this case), and then completely and utterly miss the existence of the second novel. I mean there's catching the miss and there's waiting 7 or so years to notice the miss...
Anyway, I've finally managed to notice and DEAD HEAT arrived just in time for a short break to catch up on some reading so I bumped it up the list and sat down to revisit Darren Glass, who really does seem to have gotten his act together well and truly. If you don't include being bumped out of Canberra to Jervis Bay, and playing second fiddle to senior Intelligence Officers from the Royal Australian Navy, then there's a bit of dare doing on motorbikes in Central Australia, a couple of dead Royal Australian Navy operators, some drones, a dead Aboriginal woman, a dead Navy sailor, an attack on a highly secure Naval Base, some nukes, a booby trapped culvert, a constantly going missing Aboriginal woman, a Land Rights / come bikie conspiracy, blown up boats, shark attacks, and ... well a lot. It's busy this one. Engaging, complicated, and very very busy.
More on this and the earlier book, DEAD CAT BOUNCE on my website.
