Publisher's Summary

Yearning for what they’d left behind and disillusioned by city living, Jack Ferguson and Harry Turner leave Perth to return to the rough opal-mining environment of Coober Pedy, on the edge of the Stuart Ranges in South Australia.

They discover, however, that all is not as idyllic as they remembered. They face harsh conditions, personal trials and a lack of funds. But determination, hard work and a little luck see them begin to establish themselves...until circumstances deal a shattering blow that forces them to consider life’s priorities.

Weighing up their options, they decide to leave Coober Pedy, and, with nothing more than a vague plan and the support of the vivacious and spirited Naomi Wilson, they saddle up their stock horses and head for the Northern Territory - and an uncertain future. But then a chance discovery presents them with an opportunity that will change the course of their lives for ever.

Beyond Tomorrow, the sequel to the Tony McKenna's best-selling Jack and Harry, is a heartwarming journey of courage and daring packed with outback adventure, colourful characters, surprises, romance, drama and humour - a truly Australian novel.

Great for young and old!

this book and its original part 1 Jack and Harry no Turing back has been fantastic for my 10 year old dyslexic son. I have never seen him so involved and engrossed in a book ever! He has learnt so much about history and various places in Australia all whilst being ernertaned by the adventures of Jack and Harry and crew. Wish there were another 10 books in the series1

Captivating listening

What made the experience of listening to Beyond Tomorrow the most enjoyable?

I love the genre, & Tony McKenna writes an interesting believable story.His descriptions of the country & interactions between the people kept me interested all the way through

What other book might you compare Beyond Tomorrow to, and why?

Jack & Harry No Turning Back, the first book in the series.I read this and was hooked. I love the outback of Australia & just wanted to be there with them.These 2 books just took me out of the city & into the land I love.

Have you listened to any of David Tredinnick’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have listened to both Jack & Harry books & Outback Cop Narrated by David Tredinnick.I have listened to many Audiobooks & David Tredinnick stands out as one of the best.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both Jack & Harrys books brought emotional reactions while I was listening to them, they made me happy, sad, angry & concerned, laughing & bringing tears to my eyes & a lump in my throat.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for the next book if there ever is one.

Continuity

I liked the references to the first book as to how the story began. I didn’t want it to end and wondered what happened to the key characters, I’m hoping for another book to wrap up this wonderful journey of adventure, mateship, love and interesting characters

Loved every minute of it.

The only disappointment was that it ended. Hopefully a 3rd book will be coming. It takes you back to your youth and puts forward a dream and an adventure that I think longs deep inside all of us.

Excellent Australian tale

The narration was the best I've heard ! A terrific Australian story with out murders or over the top romance. A good solid tale of Australian outback life in the 50's.
