review 1: A horrific, yet delicious "what if" sci-fi thriller. The story goes back and forth in time, but not time traveling. The effects of Hitlers regime science experiments on people are explored. The tale has two story lines from two different eras which collide together. It's fast paced with plenty of action. Right at the start the cussing is a bit heavy, but then seems to disappear altogether. Almost as if to show the growth of the character Jeremy from a despairing sod to a caring "I want to live" man. It's just something that struck me as odd, too obvious. There are a few "I saw this coming" moments, but they didn't detract from the enjoyment factor. At least not for me. World travel, CIA, Hitler and his Scientists, espionage, assassins, human modification, the loss of loved... more ones, fear, joys in simple things, fighting, explosions, family "issues", drinking and heavy smoking.
review 2: Flashbacks and present actions converge to provide a gut-wrenching thriller to keep the reader enthralled. Many of the main characters are walking wounded and being forced into situations that exacerbate their pain. The thrills come one after another as the action skips from country to country and to different times from the present to pre WWII to during WWII. Despite the violent encounters, the gore is kept to a minimum as Khara provides the right level of description to communicate without over-loading the reader. As in many mysteries, the revelations come slowly and contribute to a growing interest. Even after reading this book once, it is worth a re-read to appreciate all that it had to offer. less
