ALL working mums know trying to juggle kids with a career is an emotional rollercoaster.

Many could write a book on the experience, but it probably wouldn’t be as honest or humorous as the confessions of this brave mum.

Wits’ End Before Breakfast is a riotous journey of motherhood as first-time author Emma Robertson balances raising two lively daughters under the age of five, with working in the public service, studying a masters’ degree and writing a book.

With two young daughters of my own, I could easily relate to Emma and her struggles, despite my family life being quite tame in comparison.

Another entrant in the current crop of terrorist-inspired novels, The Ultimate Game comes with a unique twist.

A mastermind is playing Islamic terrorists off against Western intelligence services in a race to find components from an ex-Soviet missile, in order to make a nuclear bomb.

In most non-fiction, some credibility is an advantage and aspects of this plot are a bit too far-fetched.

Also, the author got some of his facts wrong, describing a Hercules as a jet!

However, the storyline development is very good with
plenty of non-stop action, a real cliff-hanger finish and an unexpected twist at the end to keep the reader involved.
