What would life in New Zealand have been like if it had been
occupied by Nazi Germany? Uncommon Enemy, a thriller,
paints a realistic picture. Would New Zealanders have resisted
or collaborated?
Hamish Beavis quickly joins the New Order and shows all the
brutality of a collaborator towards his fellow New Zealanders.
The beautiful Carol Peterson, carrying a dark secret, is pressured
into an engagement with Hamish but is increasingly drawn
towards Stuart Johnson who has joined the expanding resistance
network. Carol’s crucial decision and its repercussions are set
against a background of violence and betrayal in post-war New
Zealand under Nazi rule.
Uncommon Enemy moves along at a fast pace and the reader
will find it hard to put down. The novel paints a chilling picture
of what so easily might have been - and what could occur in
the future.
