Publisher's Summary

The second book in the internationally best-selling the Tomorrow, When the War Began series.

"There was a crashing sound from the bushes. I spun round, wondering if this was my death, the last movement I would even make, the last sight I would see...."

It's tough surviving in Hell. But sometimes Hell can be a haven. Their country has been invaded. Their homes have been occupied by strangers, or destroyed. Their families are facing death at the hands of a merciless enemy. But one group of teenagers, fugitives in a remote valley, will never give in. Not without a fight. But sometimes courage demands too high a price.

Critic Reviews

great book, average narration

Narration was annoyingbat times. There was an attempt at different accents that didn't really work, and some words (e.g.. foal) were pronounced incorrectly. She did sound like I imagined Ellie to sound though.

Good book - but why do the audio chapters not line up with the book chapters!
