Ellie and her friends decide to leave the safety of Hell to journey to the nearby town of Stratton. It's a perilous journey not least of all because the enemy's headquarters are somewhere along the way. A careless mistake leads the group into the most dangerous situation yet and presents them with their greatest opportunity when they find themselves within the enemy's heavily fortified airbase. But how much are the teens willing to risk, and when it comes to revenge or escape what will they choose?
This is the fifth book in the Tomorrow series (after Tomorrow When the War Began, The Dead of Night, The Third Day, the Frost and Darkness Be My Friend) and continues the story of the teens fighting a guerilla war against invaders. The pace of the book is pretty up and down and it did mean at times I found my interest waning. Parts of the book are action packed and fast paced, but the start and middle are more introspective and far slower in pace.
One thing I did notice with this book was that at times I found it hard to keep reading, partly due to the pacing issues and also partly due to Kevin. He becomes very withdrawn in this book which is understandable, he's been a captive and his girlfriend died at the hands of the invaders, but it does make the book quite depressing at times. After the epic failure of everything the teens tried to do in the previous book, this one sees them be more successful in their fight but lacks the emotional high.
All in all this was a great read and I'm looking forward to The Night Is for Hunting.

i thoughly enjoyed reading this book and found it extremely hard to put it down before i had finished it. it is part of a very well written series all of which are fun the read and exciting. the new book in this series is out soon. i would recommend this book to everyone. If you enjoyed this book also try 'letters from the inside' and 'so much to tell you' all by john marsden as well.
Format:Paperback
Their country has been invaded, their families and friends at the mercy of an unremitting enemy. Only hell, their own secluded sanctuary beyond the grasp of the enemy, will protect them. But they won't give up - not without a fight, not while their families are out there enduring such terror and hardship. They know they must learn to be every bit as relentless as the enemy. But along the way emotions run high and strength of character is tested. This gripping and compelling novel is brilliantly written by John Marsden and is the fifth in a seven part series. The series is described by critics as the most powerful ever written for young Australians. It captures the unbridled emotions of eight teens, when the most unexpected havoc imaginable occurs, while slowly revealing their deepest fears and emotions. This frighteningly real epic is bound to have anyone wondering, just what will happen tomorrow?

of course read the previous books in the series before this one, then the only choice you have is either to read it in one day, or try and make it last two. BEST SERIES EVER
