The Warramunga's War

Jamie and Jacko have formed an unlikely alliance. One is an officer in the Australian army, while the other is enlisted, a corporal. When Jacko saves Jamie's life, little do they know that both of their lives are about take a turn that will leave them both spinning. As World War II rages, the world is caught up in the excitement of trying to figure out what is going to happen and looking for information. For a select few, discovering this information is more dangerous than the average citizen. While many are content to sit in their kitchens reading the news in the papers, a few brave souls are quietly working the different sides of the world to try and uncover any information possible.
Jamie and Jacko are sent to “convalesce” in Egypt. There, they will be working with MI6 to try and uncover information on German spies and those in Egypt who are feeding them the information. But as their friendship deepens, so to does their dependence on each other for survival.
As their wounds heal, the need to move them elsewhere is crucial. They soon find themselves back in Australia, working with the Commonwealth Investigation Service. But they are not destined for quiet desk jobs, and they are very soon wrapped up in another investigation...
If you love World War II historical fiction, then you are going to really enjoy this book! The bonds of friendship that are formed during time of war are not bonds that are easily broken. As the war rages on, the friendship and trust between Jamie and Jacko continues to grow. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was an easy and fun read. Egypt has always held a soft spot for me, so getting back to the pyramids and the Nile was amazing. But Greg Kater did not stop there. He really pulls two stories into one, weaving them together with ease. This book is great for a weekend read if you are looking for a stand out historical fiction.
