The previous novel, Juno of Taris, ended with the arrival of outsiders and the small community realising that domed island of Taris was in big trouble due to cracks appearing in the protective cover that makes their island airtight, and the support systems failing one by one. Initially leaving was going to be an option with the inhabitants able to choose to either leave the island or stay, now the leaving option has escalated to leave now or die. A huge storm is scheduled to hit the island in a few hours and their rescuers think the whole dome will break. This proves true, and as they travel through the fierce September storm on a ship the 500 Taris inhabitants watch the dome disintegrate and carry away all the buildings on the island. On arrival in Wellington the people of Taris discover that the world is very different from when their elders were first sealed away. The world’s population has been reduced to around a million by a series of pandemics that have ravaged the world; global warming has left whole cities empty. A bomb attack welcomes the Tarians, and when they are housed in a refugee centre they realise they need to quickly familiarise themselves with the new society they are to be a part of, the money, food, technologies, clothes and work. Willem is the person who rescued the Tarians and soon it is apparent that there is a subversive element within New Zealand that is conducting a hate campaign via the internet, against Willem and as a flow on, the Tarians. Shortly after their arrival a new pandemic breaks out and the Tarians are accused of bringing it to New Zealand. Who hates the Tarians so much that they want to destroy them? In Juno of Taris, each chapter is ended with a few sentences of different gossipy information recording the Tarians passing information on to each other. FIERCE SEPTEMBER does the same but with an added bonus at the end of each chapter there is the web address of a blog posting which actually exists. If they have access to the internet, readers can access and read the two opposing blog postings. One is someone from the boat who is for the group and the other blog is one of the subversive agitators who are whipping up anti-refugee hysteria, along with comments to both blogs. Such a clever idea – but nothing is revealed that is not in the book, so people without internet access won’t miss out on crucial information. It doesn’t take Juno and her friends long to realise that things will not be the same outside and if they can stop the pandemic and clear their names then they will leave their temporary refuge and be absorbed into the New Zealand community as individual and small family groups. I really enjoyed this second book in the trilogy, was well written and narrated from the point of view of Juno. I cannot wait for the final book to come out, but that is not looking like it will happen before 2012

*Rated 3.5* The thing with memoirs is that it's all real (Duh!). You can't tell yourself - "This is just fiction, not true. " So everything that happens or is described in a memoir tends to affect you more. Semper Cool is the story of author, Barry Fixler's experiences during the Vietnam war. The memoir starts right from the time he enlisted to his homecoming after the war. Barry Fixler was just a teenager when he joined, a mere boy and by the end of it, he was a "grown-up", a man who had seen too much. You get to live the Vietnam War through the author's eyes. Semper Cool is a humourous and heartbreaking account of the war. At the same time, it's so inspiring and forces one to ponder on the value of freedom. By the end of it, I was completely in awe of the author as well as others who are willing to risk their lives and their futures for the sake of their country. The author's passion for his country, his patriotism, almost radiates off the pages of the book. Despite being a war memoir, Semper Cool is not just a bleak depressing depiction of the Vietnam War. The author portrays both the good and the bad - the horrors he experienced as well as the happy moments alongside his fellow marines. The author's sense of humor will make you laugh. At the same time, it will make your teary-eyed.The numerous photographs add to the vivid image of what it must have been like to be so young and right in the midst of a war. The pictures make the memoir more absorbing and real. As I finished reading the book, I was even more respectful and admiring of the Vietnam War veterans as well as all those brave soldiers around the world.I have never been a patriot, but reading Semper Cool made me realize that all of us who sit at home safe and secure do not, perhaps, realize the true value of freedom and how that freedom has been fought for. I have not read many memoirs. After reading Semper Cool, I plan on reading more of them. I was one of those people who dread non-fiction. But this book reads like a gripping story, albeit a true one. The writing style is simple and straightforward, yet it's enjoyable enough to pique your interest. Semper Cool is a unique memoir. I applaud the author for writing down his experiences, so that others can appreciate such brave men more. Overall: Inspiring portrayal of one marine's experiences during the Vietnam war Recommended? Yes, if you are interested in memoirs, especially true war accounts.
