In the holy city of Tova, the winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial even proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world. Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Where does Tomorrow, When the War Began rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best I have listened to.

When the girls blew up the wirawee bridge.
What about Suzi Dougherty’s performance did you like?
I love her Australian voice. I could listen to her all day.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Scary to think of an invasion but also quite plausible. The book had many ups and downs just like real life. I also enjoyed the movie.
Any additional comments?
I think it is an excellent series for young people right up there with Twilight and the Hunger Games.
