Paperback: The stakes are high, but passions and deceptions run deep.
Above the crystal-blue waters of North Queensland, Captain Morgan Pentland patrols the vast Australian coastline. When Customs Agent Rafe Daniels joins her crew, she is immediately suspicious. Why is he boarding her plane when she isn't there? And why is he asking so many questions?
What Morgan doesn't know is that Rafe has her under surveillance. Critical information about their Border Watch operations is being leaked and she is the main suspect, but when Morgan and Rafe are shot down in a tragic midair attack, they realise they have to start working together - and quickly. One of Australia's most loved icons is the next target and they have only nine days to stop it.
Will they uncover details of the plot in time, or will the tension that is growing between them jeopardise everything?
About the author: Helene Young lives in Trinity Beach, on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef in North Queensland, Australia. Her work as a senior captain with a major regional airline takes her all over the east coast of Australia.
Helene is passionate about aviation as she is about writing. "I've been flying for twenty years, which gives me an "office" with the most spectacular views in Australia and I never get tired of looking down at the wonderful landscape."
The idea for Border Watch started early one morning when Helene discovered a body washed up on the beach. While there was nothing sinister in that discovery it planted the seed of an idea.
Border Watch (2010) is Helene's first published novel, and it was voted the Favourite Romantic Suspense in 2010, the winner of Romantic Book of the Year in 2011 and longlisted for the Davitt Award in 2011.
Border Watch aka Wings of Fear is the first of a loosely linked three-book series. The second book, Shattered Sky, was published in 2011 and the third book, Burning Lies, came out in July 2012.
Rating: 3/5
