When Ellie and six of her friends return home from a camping trip deep in the bush, they find things hideously wrong -- their families gone, houses empty and abandoned, pets and stock dead. Gradually they begin to comprehend that their country has been invaded and everyone in the town has been taken prisoner. As the horrible reality of the situation becomes evident they have to make a life-and-death decision: to run back into the bush and hide, to give themselves up to be with their families, or to stay and try to fight. This reveting, tautly-drawn novel seems at times to be only a step away from today's headlines.

Australia has been invaded. Nothing is as it was. Six teenagers are living out their nightmare in the sanctuary of a hidden valley called Hell. Alone, they make their own rules, protect what is theirs, and struggle for courage and hope in a world changed forever. Seeking supplies, allies, and information, the friends make forays into enemy territory, drawing on nerve and resourcefulness they never even knew they had. And as the risks become greater, so too do the sacrifices they must make. The companion to the award-winning novel "Tomorrow, When the War Began".

The Dead Of The Night (Tomorrow Series #2)

What's the biggest danger you can think of? THIS IS BIGGER. What's the toughest challenge you can imagine? THIS IS TOUGHER. What's the greatest fear you have? YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT. First there was Tomorrow, When the War Began, then came The Dead of Night. Now it's The Third Day, The Frost. And things can only get worse. 'How long do you think they'll keep looking for us?' I asked Lee, as we lay there. 'Until they find us,' he answered grimly. They came in summer. They fell upon the land swiftly and suddenly. Through autumn they spread, like locusts, like mice, like a plague. Now it's winter. They're still here. But so too are Ellie and Homer and their friends. Half-a-dozen teenagers with all the odds against them. All they have going for them is their friendship, and their own inner spirit. How far can courage go? What do you save first when you're fighting for everything - yourself, your friends, your family, your country? In The Third Day, The Frost the answers are as big as the questions. John Marsden is one of the new breed of Australia's writers for young people: lively, fresh, provocative. Many young readers actually turn off the TV and leave their computer games to go and read John's books. And, for a number of them, they are the first books they voluntarily read.
