“Fast paced and exciting, this short novel talks of Australian response to incursions by the Japanese in the early days of World War II. I enjoyed it, recommend it.”
“Book keeps one's interest throughout, characters sufficiently developed. A good read. Short and fast paced enough to enjoy in a few exciting hours.”
“An interesting mix of historical background and spy story. I had been expecting a serious history treatise and was glad to find the history so easily digestible.”
“A great read from Barry. Let's have more!”
“I enjoyed following Kat Douglas and Ken Eliot as they faced another dangerous mission. The international setting, suspense, and constant threats give the story a strong sense of urgency.”
“Parthian Peril delivers a good balance of action, suspense, and adventure. I liked the pace and the feeling that the characters were always one step away from serious trouble.”
