The Deep Enders

By: Dave Reardon

Narrated by: Dave Reardon

His home destroyed in the attack on Pearl Harbor, Murph Turner stumbles into the exotic town of Broome, hoping for safe harbor. Instead, the troubled teen discovers a wild and lawless place brimming with espionage, treachery, and romance.

An outsider in a bewildering land of red dust and paranoia, Murph is quickly taken under wing by Banjo, a cheeky aboriginal scamp with a passion for pyrotechnics, and Micki, a beautiful teenager on the run from authorities.

But even as the Japanese armada closes in on the northern coastline, the trio is suddenly thrust into a murderous adventure - all set against the backdrop of a true WW II tragedy so brutal that it was immediately covered up by the government.

Completely consuming

The story engulfed me completely. I spent a full work day immersed in this audio book. It isn’t a normal WWII story, the characters are well thought out and the way the story is told lets it play out in my mind like a film.

Enjoyable Historical Fiction!

Fantastic! Love hearing Dave read this! I don’t read historical fiction due to forced reading of it in my school days, but this is one I very much enjoyed! Cannot wait to read the sequel!

Great read

This book was a fun and exciting read. I love the dynamic relationship between the protagonists. I found some of the action during the climax was a bit hard to follow, but it wasn't TOO difficult to keep up. The narration done by the author was alright, I had to slow it down a little to understand him, but that's probably more the fault of my American ears. Not sure if the sequel is in the works, but there definitely should be one!

WWII from an Australian point of view.

Well-written, well-read. It was fun hearing Dave read his novel after watching him eat his wife's cookery from How to Cook That. I've never learned anything about Australia's role in the war, and it was even better to hear it from a young boy's point of view. Dave is an excellent writer. The characters are believable. The setting is described well enough that I can imagine it.

Absolutely amazing! Must read/listen!

I've followed Ann for years now and I absolutely love Dave. When I heard his book was finished and found it on here, I bought it and finished it in two days! I then spent another few days making my family listen to it as well and they loved it.
