His home destroyed in The Pacific War, a troubled young man stumbles into the exotic pearling town of Broome hoping for safe harbor. Instead, Murph Turner discovers a lawless place brimming with espionage, treachery and romance. An outsider in a bewildering land of red dust and paranoia, Murph is quickly taken under wing by Banjo - a cheeky Aboriginal scamp with a passion for pyrotechnics - and Micki, a beautiful teenager on the run from authorities.But even as the Japanese armada closes in on the northern coastline, the trio are suddenly thrust into a murderous adventure - all set against the backdrop of a true wartime tragedy, so brutal that it was immediately covered up by the Government.REVIEWS: "An action-packed adventure filled with wonderful characters, life and color. The Deep Enders is a wild ride for readers " - Leah James (Film Producer)"A gripping read that will have you on the edge of your seat." - BookBuzz Magazine"Amazing writing ... you'll love it. 4.5 stars " - Grace Radu, Booktube"There's only one word for The Deep Enders, unputdownable. It has adventure, mystery, gruesome villains, hidden treasures and a trio of friends you can laugh along with." - Aziza Green (author)
The beginning was a little slow. But, once the action picked up it was fast paced until the very end.
I really enjoyed the personalities of the characters.
The book has a lot of violence ( it takes place in WWII), prejudice (typical for the time and place), and some evil people that you want to reach into the story to throttle. But, no foul language.
