The second book in the Taine McKenna series following the award winning ‘Into the Mist’. Taine joins his partner, biologist Jules Asher, on a Conservation Department deer culling expedition into Fiordland at the base of New Zealand’s South Island. Its an isolated place, so when gunfire is heard and an injured man runs towards them, Taine goes on high alert. Part of a poaching expedition, the man and his companion stumbled across an ancient people, the Tūrehu (aka Patupaiarehe), the small remnants of a tribe who have been hiding out since Maori arrived in Aotearoa, and then Europeans, trying to keep their isolated tribe from exploitation and extinction. A submarine manned by a group of ruthless mercenaries who plan to traffic Tūrehu children, angry Tūrehu who are wary of Taine and his group, and a mythological sea creature make for explosive elements in this fast-paced action adventure. ( ) This is the second book in the Taine McKenna series. Taine accompanies Jules on an expedition to the Fiorland Sounds to help cull the deer. But that ends up being the least of their problems when they encounter dangerous poachers, an indigenous species and a murderous sea creature. I enjoyed this book almost as much as the first book. My only hangup with this one, is that I thought it followed the outline of the first book way too closely. Yeah they were in a different location and yeah they hunted a sea creature instead of a land animal but besides that everything else felt a little too similar. Maybe if I wouldn't have read them back to back I wouldn't have noticed it as much but there you have it... It was still a fun book though and I do recommend if you like creature features. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"On leave, and out of his head with boredom, NZDF Sergeant Taine McKenna joins biologist Jules Asher on a Conservation Department deer culling expedition to New Zealand's southernmost national park, where soaring peaks give way to valleys gouged from clay and rock, and icy rivers bleed into watery canyons too deep to fathom. Despite covering an area the size of the Serengeti, only eighteen people live in the isolated region, so it's a surprise when the hunters stumble on the nation's Turehu tribe, becoming some of only a handful to ever encounter the elusive ghost people. But a band of mercenaries saw them first, and, hell-bent on exploiting the tribes' survivors, they're prepared to kill anyone who gets in their way. A soldier, McKenna is duty-bound to protect all New Zealanders, but after centuries of persecution will the Turehu allow him to help them? Besides, there is something else lurking in the sounds, and it has its own agenda. When the waters clear, will anyone be allowed to leave?"--Back cover. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
