"Above and Beyond" sets a cracking pace and doesn't shy away from the big issues, both public and private. That realism extends to the sex scenes which were a bit too hot for my reader comfort ... whew! ... but balanced by strong characterisation. These were real people, definitely Aussie in their language and outlook. 

 

Disclosure: Wendy is a fellow Escape Publishing author and a Twitter pal. But I had no idea she'd written such a powerhouse ride. Fabulous drama and danger.
