Publisher's summary

Australia has been invaded.

While the outnumbered Australian Defence Force fights on the ground, in the air, and at sea, this quickly becomes a war involving ordinary people.

Ben, an IT consultant, has never fought a day in his life. Will he survive? Grant, a security guard at Sydney's International Airport, finds himself captured and living in the filth and squalor of one of the concentration camps dotted around Australia. Knowing death awaits him if he stays, he plans a daring escape.

This is a dark day in Australia's history. This is terror, loneliness, starvation, and adrenaline all mixed together in a sour cocktail. This is the day Australia fell.

Scary in its potential... Australia overrun.

How can a country like Australia , with thousands of miles of uninhabited coastline effectively protect itself from a determined invader.? This story lays out the scenario of the country being quickly overrun by Indonesia. Well written, and exciting, as the remnants of the population coalesce and form fighting guerilla groups to retake their country.
The Australian narration adds reality and drama to make this a truly scary book.
