Jacko's aboriginal roots was a big reason for the success in the war, because that helped him form good relationships with the locals.

I'm still confused who is the main character, after all, ether Jacko or Jamie or maybe both. I guess, the next series tells a lot.

The team may still have been able to achieve its goal without Jacko. But the story could have been very different. Jacko has helped a lot in contributing to the team's goal.

I somewhat agree that the story would have taken a major twist if Jacko wasn't there. He seems to be the center or the glue that connects everyone and every event.

Jacko definitely played a very important part with his aboriginal skills. Because of his ability to blend into his surroundings he was the one who followed and monitored the activities of the agents like a shadow.

I totally agree that Jacko's roots made him such a skilled spy and an even more interesting character. I definitely fell in love with him! :oops:

His roots played a crucial role in their success. Even from the beginning when Jacko saved Jamie, Jacko gives credit to his great sense of direction which he got from being half Warramunga.

Agreed! Since he is the best asset of the team. Their collaboration of ideas will also work, well it was just a remains "what if."

Yeah, hearing that from Jacko, I thought, the beginning of warramungas war started on this part, but i'm wrong. It's not all about the typical war I see on movies like "hacksaw ridge." It's educational as well for the generation whose not yet born during that time. Meanwhile, "warramunga's" helped the war.

That's why Jacko's race became the highlights of the story. I never heard of warramunga until reading this book.

That part of saving Jamie also showed that Jacko is an interesting character with natural skills and abilities. :techie-studyingbrown:

Combined it with his humor, I do think readers will find him irresistible as a character. :techie-studyingbrown: :wink2:

It seems like his ability to camouflage and conceal his presence are the main point people like about Jacko. :eusa-think: Well, no surprises there. He really is a naturally-talented bloke. :techie-studyingbrown:
