Product Description
The seventh and final novel in this gripping internationally best-selling series. The lone band of teenage survivors face the final battle against the brutal army that has destroyed their country and murdered their friends and family. At last, an end to all the pain and suffering is in sight. The group of teenagers, led by Ellie, prepare to face the enemy one last time. But this final bid for freedom demands a head on confrontation with danger, with fear and with extreme bravery. The gang must accept that as the war draws to a close, the price of defeat is running higher than ever.

I was hooked from the first page of the first book. I have a couple of quibbles with the series as a whole, namely that a couple of the titles could have been more tightly edited - perhaps it would have been better as a 5 or six book series? That said, Ellie is one of the most engaging characters I've come across for a long time. The series is thought provoking and never patronising. The ending is perfect - bittersweet and credible.
A follow-up title featuring an adult Ellie would be very welcome!

It's been a little over a year since Ellie and her friends returned from their camping trip in Hell to find their country had been invaded and their families captured. The original group of eight has been reduced to five, and they've gained a group of rescued orphans. Now the New Zealand troops are preparing their final assault, and Ellie and her friends are about to be called into action for one final time.
This is the seventh and final book in the incredible Tomorrow series (after Tomorrow When the War Began, The Dead of Night, The Third Day, the Frost, Darkness Be My Friend, Burning for Revenge and The Night Is for Hunting) and it wasn't really what I expected.
Reading the blurb and other reviews I thought this book would be a series of fairly random attacks where all the main characters were involved. Without including any spoilers, all I will say is that the story took some totally unexpected twists and turns. It was an incredible journey that kept me glued to the page. Knowing that the series and the war would be ending in this book, but not knowing how or whether the characters would survive made it unputdownable.
The ending is fitting to the series, and I'm really glad there wasn't a movie style perfect happy ending where everything is tied up in a neat little bow. At the end of the day the characters have been through an incredible amount so to make everything all better again not only would have been unrealistic, but also would have devalued the previous books.
All in all this was a great conclusion to an amazing series that I thoroughly recommend to anyone who likes dystopian novels and/or action packed stories.

A great book concluding the series, really worth reading.
A very well written book as with all the rest of the series but perhaps an inconclusive ending, it sort of leaves you waiting for more. Read more
