Thanks to Forever Dying Brightly for mentioning Operation EMU: “Some of the best things come by way of serendipity, and in the case of books, it’s often the one you never looked for but that came to you that makes for an interesting read.

Kindle folks. Your search for a great read is over. Click here to download Operation EMU [Amazon Kindle Store].
