This week Sheedy is proud to have been lauded by his alma mater in its influential Ignatian Magazine on the publication of his latest book, Ghosts of the Empire .



Critically acclaimed author of Goodbye Crackernight and Nor the Years Condemn Justin Sheedy (OR86) is back with a new book, Ghosts of the Empire …

As the storm of World War II breaks, Mick O’Regan is a peaceful Sydney working-class boy. Yet he and the shining youth of his generation are cursed to enter a world of high-speed life and death. Based on a true Australian war store only now being brought to life, Ghosts of the Empire is a story of young people living life to the full while they can in a blacked-out world where dance partners, sex and death flow in equal abundance.

Both Ghosts of the Empire and book one of the series, Nor the Years Condemn , are currently available through all good bookstores and are stocked by the Australian War Memorial.
