Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After reading The Last Thylacine and developing such empathy with the main character and tasmanian tigers, I realised why I couldn't put this book down. Terry has captured the true australian spirit most of us feel in our hearts by conveying our love for our native animals and our vast areas of untouched natural beauty.
Terry has written a great paced adventure novel and very cleverly found a way to give readers an; Australian natural history, flora and fauna, photography and aircraft lesson all in one. I myself even learnt some things about Australian mammals.
I have lived in Australia for my whole life (26 years) and can safely say I have not until now felt the need so strongly to visit Tasmania and explore this part of the world!

Historical Fiction: Outdoor Adventure/NatureThe Thylacine was the largest marsupial predator in human history.Unfortunately, like most wild animals that develop a taste for domestic stock, they were mercilessly trapped and hunted by stockmen and farmers.The species was finally declared extinct in 1936 when the only captive Thylacine in the world died at Tasmania's Hobart Zoo.Since then, there have been a string of mysterious sightings of this animal.However, not one of these encounters has ever been confirmed by wildlife authorities.Until now...The Last Thylacine is the gripping tale of Matthew Clark, a field biologist who actually beholds this supposedly extinct animal.Matthew reports the sighting to his employer and through an awkward set of circumstances he is fire from his job.This is only the beginning of Matthew's great ordeal.Simultaneously published in the USA and Australia.
