Amazon.com Review
Ellie has started to believe she won't survive the war. Their band of eight teenage guerrillas is down to five now--Robyn and Corrie and Chris are dead, and only she and Homer and Kevin and Lee and Fi are still trying to sabotage the enemy who has taken over their country. They're growing numb and soul sick from the violence, because they've been fighting for a long time--through four previous novels, actually: John Marsden's Tomorrow: When the War Began, The Dead of Night, A Killing Frost, and Darkness Be My Friend. At the same time, they are normal teens who kid around, fall in and out of love, and think long thoughts about the meaning of life. It is this poignant human dimension that lifts Marsden's series above the run-of-the-mill spy action novel--that and the fact that nobody is better at writing about things blowing up. And his scenes leading up to the explosion create tension so powerful it is almost unbearable to keep on reading--but impossible not to. In Burning for Revenge, the five have been abandoned in enemy territory when the New Zealand general decides that they are not valuable enough to send a rescue helicopter. Without any definite plans, they sneak into the back of a truck, only to find themselves at the end of the ride deep within the enemy's airfield. How they battle out of the situation and leave the enemy's air power in ruins makes a breathlessly exciting story that will not disappoint the many teen fans of this excellent series. (Ages 12 and older) --Patty Campbell
Product Description
The journey to Stratton isn't an easy trip, especially when the enemy's headquarters lie somewhere along the way. And that's exactly where Ellie and her friends unwittingly find themselves. With only five of them against hundreds of armed soldiers, escape seems like a suicide mission. But Stratton is where Ellie's grandmother lives, so the journey must be made -- even though the odds aren't good.
Ellie must summon all of her courage and guerrilla instincts to survive the latest high-stakes installment of the action-packed Tomorrow series.

The Tommorow When the War Began series is so engrossing that when you've read one of the six, you've got to keep going until you're counting the days 'til the final and seventh one comes out in the fall of '99. Burning for Revenge is just another edition of John Marsden's sensational series.
Awesome! September 21, 2000

John Marsden has done it again. Book 5 will not disappoint you! If you've been anxiously awaiting the end -- Books 6 and 7, intitled The Night is for Hunting and The Other Side of Dawn, respectively -- you shouldn't have to wait long. I already own all 7 and I live in North America! There is this Australian online bookstore at bookworm.au which sells all 7 books in softcover with very reasonable shipping charges. It is a pretty rudimentary site -- I suspect it is run out of someone's basement -- but they sure deliver! I almost didn't want to read The Other Side of Dawn because I knew that that would be it for one of the best series I have ever come across. I won't give anything away but I will say that the series did not disappoint!!
This series just keeps getting more awesome! December 23, 1999

I absolutley love the Tomorrow series, and book #5, Burning for Revenge, was no exception. I live in the US, but I got it from Amazon's UK site, since it's already out there. If you haven't read the Tomorrow series yet, you definitley should.
Well, get on with it! June 25, 1999

One day I walked into the library, and one of the librarians handed me a book, "Here, you'll like this one." Well, I read it, 'Tomorrow, When the War Began.' I absolutly loved it! I didn't find out that it was a series until later, but I was absolutly enthraled when I read the others. I didn't talk to anybody for weeks; there was no ungluing myself from the books. I can't wait to read this next one. Please hurry up, Mr. Marsden! There is a wide range of fans waiting to nab your book off the shelf as soon as it gets there.
Outstanding! September 15, 2000

I absolutely love John Marsden. I've read nearly all his books:so much to tell you, letters from the inside, Nortons hut-they were all great, but this book was the best of the best. This book seems a bit shorter than the others, but it's probably because I read it so fast! Even though this was the best book out of the Tommorow series, I suggest that you read the books in order, otherwise it will ruin some of the endings. Here's the order: Tommorow when the war began, the dead of night, the killing frost(US)/The third day the Frost(UK), Darkness be my friend, Burning for revenge, the night is for hunting, the otherside of dawn. The last 2 books can be special ordered from the UK.
