The Warramunga’s Aftermath of War by Greg Kater



The Warramunga’s Aftermath of War by “Greg Kater” is the second book from the Warramunga series. This historical fiction is full of action and adventure. It mostly focuses on increased criminal activities post World War II.

The story opens on Christmas day, when former Army Officer Jamie Munro and CIS head Jack O’Brien, a Warramunga the aborigine, aboard the Darwin Harbor Pilot’s cutter in rough seas to rescue and investigate a distressed vessel. After looking around this boat, they find out one young survivor and with the help of him, they come to know about the abducted and murdered children and this whole fiasco is somehow related to the child smuggling racket they have been called to investigate. From the story of this survivor, they find out the lead to follow in the Philippines, and from there with a very well thought plan, they uncover the Australian criminals involved in this operation.

They move back to Australia to find out the mastermind behind this racket. Where another surprise awaits for them and the thrilling sequence of kidnapping and rescue operation starts, where this fearless and intelligent duo Jamie and Jacko, put their lives at risk to tackle these greedy criminals. The author, Greg Kater, has successfully managed to combine humor and romance along with all the excitement and action in this adventurous novel. I like the love story of Jamie and Carna and the casual banter between Jamie and Jacko. Also, Jacko’s half-sisters Sarah, who became a great help because of her tracking skills, is a very appealing character.

While reading this novel, you will feel connected with each character, no matter how extensive or brief their part is in the story. The author has achieved to present a great fusion of fiction and historical events. The portrayal of regions, culture, and people is brilliant. The author has shown us through this novel that, how much chaos and crime motivational environment gets created post-war. How much destruction and loss a war can cause. Throughout the story, the tension never relents and keeps the reader on the edge and guessing.

Through this novel, Greg Kater continues to cement his reputation as a best historical fiction writer with extensive knowledge of historical events, visual experience and clever use of different languages. I would like to highly recommend this book to all range of readers. The book is very well edited. If you are a fan of a historical action thriller, then this book is definitely for you.


I would like to give 4.5 out of 5 stars to this novel as it’s flawlessly well researched, edited and written book. I am looking forward to reading more from Greg Kater.
