First edition (FPu), 1999. 184 pp. Sun and Shadows is the sequel to To the War, G. A. Morris' previous novel about the Collins family, a book that drives into the shadows of war and espionage. From the flap: ''This update of the family saga starts in 1900. William, a musician, starts off for California and a career in the New World but, waylaid by love fetches up and settles in Australia. William's story is exciting, but is nothing compared to the adventures of his son and grandson as, over the years, they venture forth from Down under to become involved in events such as the Second World War, Vietnam and the Gulf War. Whether describing the Australian outback, the North African desert, the forests of Papua New Guinea, the paddy fields of Vietnam or everyday life in Amsterdam, the author's eye for significant detail convinces the reader that he knows what he is writing about and has been there. The women in this story are also a hardy breed. They need to be because, along with a strong sense of adventure, all the Collins men have inherited more than a roving eye.
