Another Great Review of my new book, "Nor the Years Condemn"
SHOULD BE A MOVIE
Review by Shell Lancaster, Melbourne, Australia.
The book “Nor The Years Condemn” is a must have for any history buff. Not only for an insight into what it was like at the start of the war, but also an insight into Sydney at the time. Not only for the boys, everyone will take something away from this. Could definitely see this made into a mini-series or movie. The author sucks you in from the start, it is very hard to put down. You can tell that the author did a lot of research when writing this book and is passionate about the story and characters. Hoping there will be a sequel.

Latest Review of “Nor the Years Condemn” by Justin Sheedy – ‘WOULD MAKE A VERY GOOD MOVIE’ – by Tim Bean
Veteran Film, TV and Theatre Writer & Performer, Tim Bean, who ordered Justin Sheedy’s latest book Nor the Years Condemn from AMAZON, has just penned the following Review of the book…
WOULD MAKE A VERY GOOD MOVIE.
“NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN, by Justin Sheedy, is an engrossing war novel set amid Britain’s fighter squadrons during WWII. In 1939, Daniel Quinn, 20, Sydney University 1ST XV Rugby star, applies to join the RAAF almost on a whim. It’s a whim which will have him flying a Spitfire over Nazi Germany with a one in three chance of survival. Told mostly from Daniel’s viewpoint, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN details the misfortunes of war experienced by a generation of young pilots, the best of the best, most of whom will die young. Daniel faces his first flight, first kill, first love, first loss and first meeting with a young colleague old before his time. It’s a tense, well told story, gripping, from prologue to epilogue. (To those readers in the habit of skipping prologues, a word of advice: Don’t skip this one.) Justin Sheedy’s no-nonsense style of writing fits perfectly with his subject matter. The detailed research is obvious, yet there are no glaring information dumps. Instead, the exposition is so well integrated that it becomes part of the drama. In all, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN is a very good read which, incidentally, would also make a very good movie.”

My huge thanks to Tim Bean. Please see Tim’s veritably iconic contribution to Australian Film, TV, Theatre and Cultural Scene at the link below.

Tim’s incomparable insight recently provided me, as the author and cover-designer of the book, with a true ‘light-bulb-going-on’ moment re a potential improvement to the back cover of Nor the Years Condemn. Tim’s suggestion has resulted in an enrichment of the all-important experience for the bookstore browser of the book in being ‘drawn into’ the Key Character of the book, an experience richly promised by the front cover and which has now been made a reality, and to wide public approval.
Nor the Years Condemn is available as a Print-on-Demand Paperback at AMAZON, as an Ebook at SMASHWORDS and now at DYMOCKS BOOKSTORES.

3RD Book-Signing Since Sell-Out September Launch for Justin Sheedy’s Latest Novel, “No Greater Love” – Saturday 12 November 2016
The symbol of war remembrance is the red poppy, also of Justin Sheedy’s latest historical novel. Bringing to vivid life true Australian war history and events, “No Greater Love” is a saga of the drama, beauty, heroism and horror of a young Australian Spitfire pilot’s war journey through stunning Malta, Egypt and North Africa, Sicily, England and Europe. It is a portrait of the once-in-a-lifetime characters the war places on his path, of the tragic, wholesale waste of war, on occasion even the profound humanity of his enemy. Justin Sheedy is delighted to be signing copies of this, his fifth and latest book, at Dymocks Sydney. “No Greater Love” is the story of Aussie rough-diamond, Colin Stone, of his loyalty and devotion to his friends, of his enduring love for the mother who abandoned him, and his dreams of being held by her once again.
