Our Book Review
FFascinating, intelligent spy novel This book is an incredible tour de force I found so fascinating that I read it straight through in essentially two sessions. I could not put it down. It is set in Germany's Post WWI Weimar Republic where Nazis and the Russian-supported Communists are fighting to the death, each aiming to overthrow the democratic government. It is a story of assassinations, intrigue, and romance involving an American veteran of the War who finds himself spying and killing for the Communists. The author uses his vast knowledge of this period of history to form an integral and enriching part of the page-turning narrative. This is a spy thriller, not a history lesson, but the reader also will learn (or be reminded of) a bit of history that has drawn more attention in recent times. Similarly, he manages to make the characters alive, complex, and not mere vehicles for the riveting plot.
Fantastic story, well told! Fun and Smart book. I liked this book from the start--the writer clearly did his research and provided a lot of fascinating period detail about a time in Germany about which I knew nothing. The story was suspenseful and surprising--I was sorry to see it end and came here to see if he's published another. . .not yet but soon, I'm sure!
A gripping spy thriller - I couldn't put it down. Fast paced, plot-driven, and full of fascinating historical details and nail-biting action, this was a hugely satisfying read. I loved the genre and the premise of this well-written, compulsively readable book. I hope the author will write another!
