Book review - "Third Day, the Frost" by John Marsden

Book 3 in the Tomorrow series sees our gang tackle Cobbler's Bay. There is the usual formula of blowing something up then something really bad happening - only here its out of order. The quisling Major Harvey returns, allowing Marsden to create his first real villain of the piece. He is cagey about the actual enemy, but with Harvey he cuts loose creating a truly loathesome figure. Harvey is a deputy school principal so ex teacher Marsden is presumably setting a few scores! The ending of the book is such that the series could come to an end, in a way, but there were four more.
