Third Day, The Frost (1995) - Strangling the Soldier

Published in seven instalments between 1993 and 1999, John Marsden’s Tomorrow series is one of the seminal works of Australian popular fiction. It is a coming of age story, charting the maturation of the spirited farm girl Ellie Linton, where the inner turmoil of adolescence is rendered as a literal warzone. Speaking to the concerns of then contemporary Australian teens while also paying tribute to the child adventurer yarns, bush tales, and men-on-mission romps that had entertained adult devotees when they were growing up, the series was an instant crossover phenomenon.
The series is notable for its sense of place and vivid suspense sequences. Ellie’s hometown and its surroundings are wonderfully sketched, acquiring rich histories through the numerous anecdotes of times past sprinkled throughout the books. The action scenes in the series are an exhilarating mix of gleeful shoot-the-fuel-tank spectacle and gruelling feats of endurance. In later instalments Marsden demonstrates a tremendous faculty with the sustained set piece, and contrasts the two modes to great effect.
A movie based on the first instalment of the Tomorrow series, Tomorrow, When the War Began, was released in 2010.
A TV series based on the books will screen on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s dedicated children's and family programming station ABC3 later this year.
