Review: Based on a true story from WWII, 
The Saboteur is a historical thriller that narrates a story about heroism, determination and sacrifice. Parachute into some the most unforgiving terrain in Europe and brave the fiercest of mountain storms, then target an impregnable factory and sabotage the product of their target. That was the incredible task assigned to Kurt Nordstrum. More incredible is the fact that much of this fictional story is loosely based on real events.
Andrew Gross’s new novel, The Saboteur, is an excellent story. It is a dramatic thriller set against the backdrop of World War II and the Norwegian resistance movement. It’s the story of the allied undertaking to impede the Nazi effort to build the first atomic bomb and the production of the critical heavy water necessary for that development. After several failed attempts to destroy the heavily guarded factory, the task falls upon one man against overwhelming odds. Nordstrum has to do what is necessary in spite of a personal sacrifice – maybe the one he loves.
Like his previous WWII novel, The One Man, Gross weaves the fictional story largely from true events and accounts of those who participated. The book is emotional, the characters are vivid and the story pits good versus evil.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and recommend it to readers who enjoy thrilling historical fiction.
