James H Lewis has written a fascinating read in his The Quadrant Conspiracy. I highly recommend it for readers who love reading historical fiction. I loved reading it.

I thought this book was absolutely brilliant. The author has really brought this era to life, and the characters came across as very real in the telling. It is one of those books that once started is very difficult to put down, in fact, I stayed up very late in the night reading it.

The historical detailing has to be commended, the author has certainly done his homework and has he has depicted the era with a great deal of confidence and certainly. Likewise, I thought the characters came across as very real in the telling. The story itself if utterly captivating and I enjoyed every minute of it.

*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for review consideration.

The tide of the second world war is beginning to turn and the allies are not totally in sync regarding the prosecution of the war. Winston Churchill and the British preferred the battles be fought in North Africa and up the Italian peninsula rather than from British soil into France. Stalin is refusing to attend the meetings because of the problems faced on the Eastern Front with the German army.

German pilot Jorg Schumaker is shot down and being held in a Canadian prison. A young girl, smitten by his boyish good looks; decides to assist him in escaping.

Meanwhile, the high command in Germany decides that their best bet to turn the tide of the war is to kill Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR is scheduled to take a fishing holiday in Canada and Jorg Schumaker is tasked with the assassination assignment.

Prisoners have been paid a stipend for working in the fields and orchards and he has accumulated enough money to attempt another escape.

After the failed attempt to land troops at Diepp along the French coast, Churchill wishes to have the war proceed through Italy rather than an attack across the English Channel. Meanwhile, Roosevelt has gone fishing!

The writer has written a very gripping novel of war and the intrigue of three very large world powers not totally in agreement as to how to proceed. You will find this a very informative and engaging read. 4.5 stars – CE Williams
