I liked that this story was about a little known group of soldiers that were Jewish and were originally from Germany. I liked that there was a little bit of romance. The story is a little long winded in some spots but the story is good. I received a copy of this book from Harlequin for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( ) Froelich is the only survivor of an undercover operation. When he wanders from the desert into a British camp, he is mistaken for a German soldier. After some fast talking, he is finally believed and sent to the hospital. But his war is not over. It is just beginning! I very much enjoyed the beginning of this book. Froelich is such a tough guy and he has a big heart. His strength comes through the pages like the warrior he is! He has sustained some terrible injuries. However, through some chance encounters, he finally receives the help he needs to put him back into the line of fire. There were parts of this book that I loved and parts I just skimmed. I usually don’t mind war books. But, I had trouble with those sections in this novel. I just could not get interested in it. But, don’t let that stop you! It was most likely me. I am very much a mood reader and I may not have been in the mood! Need a good historical war novel…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today! I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. Survival, yes, you will wonder if these men will survive, and especially Froelich, I don’t know how he went on! Although, this is fictional story, it is based on truth. A horrible time on World History, and we walk through blazing desserts, and paratroop out of airplanes, all with the desire to stop the madness. Hate for a religion, a group of people, but this band of men give their all, a story filled with perseverance, throw in a bit of humor, and a little romance. This journey became a page-turner as we look for answers and survival, and we walk with them! A story that we need to read and not forget! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin Trade Publishing, and was not required to give a positive review. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"A spellbinding novel of World War II based on the little-known history of the X Troop--a team of European Jews who escaped the Continent only to join the British Army and return home to exact their revenge on Hitler's military. A lone soldier wearing a German uniform stumbles into a British military camp in the North African desert with an incredible story to tell. He is the only survivor of an undercover operation meant to infiltrate a Nazi base, trading on the soldiers' perfect fluency in German. However, this man is not British-born but instead a German Jew seeking revenge for the deaths of his family back home in Berlin. As the Allies advance into Europe, the young lieutenant is brought to recover in Sicily. There he is recruited by a British major to join the newly formed X Troop, a commando unit composed of German and Austrian Jews training for a top secret mission at a nearby camp in the Sicilian hills. They are all "lost boys," driven not by patriotism but by vengeance. Drawing on meticulous research into this unique group of soldiers, The Last of the Seven is a lyrical, propulsive historical novel perfect for fans of Mark Sullivan, Robert Harris and Alan Furst."--provided by publisher.
