'David Hill'sThe Deadly Sky is set in 1974, when the nuclear proliferation of the Cold War was at the forefront of political debate, and France was, quite literally, dropping bombs in the South Pacific. Modern global terror has a different focus (the Big Red Button seems old-fashioned from today's perspective), but the ethical quandaries at the heart of the arms race - whether militarisation works to promote security or to endanger it; whether national and global security is worth its economic, ecological and individual cost - remain pertinent. ... Darryl's story is moving and engaging, the issues raised emotionally and intellectually complex.' --Angelina Sbroma, NZ Books
