Shadow of God and other novels at Macmillan Sire
Review compares Frank Rooney's Shadow of God with The Nun's Story noting a shared theme of faith and conscience set in a wartime context. Rooney's work features vivid character portraits and harsh East Asian and African frontier scenes, with nuns and a struggle for truth under pressure. The piece also surveys Wilbur Smith's The Devil in Harbour and Catherine Gavin's The Evil in Harbour, praising historical detail, pacing, and dramatic conflict across a broad wartime canvas.
