Henning"The Dead of Night" is the second book of the Tomorrow Series.Book two breaks away from any comparisons to other military invasions novels that involve young adults. This is because the narrative and the characters experience further development, which includes Ellie having a significant personal experience despite the carnage of war.The story has a smooth follow on from book one, and questions the reader may be left wondering after the first book do receive attention, such as the fate of Corrie and Kevin, who are addressed immediately.The group faces multiple skirmishes with the enemy and further personal loss. Yet their survival skills and ability to operate as a successful unit continues to enhance.The desire to read each book of the series is additionally stimulated by this stage of the story, as the destiny of the characters and Australia can only be quenched by reading on.Nicholas R.W. Henning - Australian Author1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great sequelBy Crystal WatanabeI found Dead of Night to be a great sequel to Tomorrow, When the War Began (The Tomorrow Series #1) because there seemed to be a lot more action going on. I felt like the interactions between the kids were much more realistic and enjoyed hearing more from Ellie's perspective.I did find it annoying that the synopsis on the back of the book has almost nothing to do with the central plot of the book. It just doesn't make sense to plug a rescue mission when that part only takes up one chapter at most.Great read aside though, I was LIVID when I found out that books 3 4 are not available for purchase anywhere online. Only one library in Honolulu has the third and it's pretty out of the way. I cannot believe Scholastic doesn't have two books in the series in print, but it has books 5 and on available. Don't get sucked in unless you know how to get books 3 and 4.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy AlabamaWish they would have continued with the movies. Australia has been invaded. Seven teenagers are living in the sanctuary of a hidden valley where nothing is safe, where all that is certain is today. But someday, somehow, things have got to change. Ellie and her friends are the only people who can change it. They are the only ones who are free. From Publishers WeeklyIn this sequel to Tomorrow, When the War Began, the teenagers continue their guerrilla warfare against the invading foreign army. PW said, "Though it's still a superior adventure tale, it lacks the provocative edge and hard-hitting moral challenges of the author's best work." Ages 12-up. (May) r Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.From School Library JournalGrade 6-10. Marsden picks up right where Tomorrow, When the War Began (Houghton, 1995) left off. A few months have passed since Ellie and six of her friends returned from a camping trip deep in the Australian outback to find their country invaded by an unidentified, non-English- speaking nation. The Dead of Night opens with a brief recounting of what happened in the previous novel; two members of the group, Corrie and Kevin, are still missing. Homer, a self-appointed leader, rallies the others together to track them down. They discover that Kevin has been imprisoned, and Corrie is alive, but in a coma. The teens continue their guerrilla activities and, by the end of the story, have lost Chris, another comrade. As in Tomorrow, Ellie narrates and keeps a written record of the group's activities and experiences. She is a fully realized character who grows considerably in the story. She is a thoughtful, realistic protagonist who wrestles not only with the brutalities of war, but also with her own adolescence. Her feelings for Lee are particularly well done. She wants to have sex with him, but worries about the complications that could result. These realistically depicted human conflicts make the book much more than just an exciting apocalyptic adventure. In the end, only four members of the original seven remain, but they are still committed to fighting the enemy. Hope is alive. Although this sequel can stand on its own, readers of Tomorrow will find it far more satisfying.?Edward Sullivan, New York Public LibraryCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. 'The best series for Australian teens of all time' The Age. Age 'a brilliant series ... gripping' The Devonian. Devonian
