About this ebook

The Other Side of Dawn is the long-awaited, riveting, final title in the Tomorrow series about a group of teenagers in war-torn Australia. Since their home was invaded by enemy soldiers and transformed into a war zone, Ellie and her friends have been fighting for their lives. They have learned survival skills out of necessity and taken care of each other through impossibly dark times. Now, with a roar like a train in a tunnel, the war has entered its final days. There’s no more sitting around, no more waiting. There’s only fast decisions, fast action, fast thinking—and no room to get it wrong. As the enemy forces close in on their hideout in Hell, Ellie, Fi, Homer, Lee, and Kevin, and their adopted group of orphaned children, find themselves facing the last chapter of their struggle for freedom. But it may just be the most dangerous yet. And not everyone will survive.

Ratings and reviews

A brilliant finish to a brilliant series. I loved the way he captures the end in a way that feels so right. It really would be a let down, an end to a war. It would feel like "what was the point of all that?" and that is how it is portrayed through ours and Ellie's friends and family. I was so nervous when I first entered Ellie's world for the last time (until her chronicles), however, at the end I was happy that Mr Marsden had done so well. I cant believe there is actually an end to this amazing story. I wanted this series to go on forever, and in a way it does, as I'm still reading the series 13 years on. And still will be 80 years on.
