Summary: One of the best books I've EVER read...PERIOD---Adam Kastner
Review: William Diehl has written a bestselling novel called "27" or "The Hunt"."27" is a no longer known or copied name for this bestseller, it is now printed as "The Hunt".
This book was published in 1990, and sold began having major sales in '91.Mr. Diehl has written many bestsellers including "Thai Horse","Show of Evil", & "Sharky's Machine".I read all 3 & Diehl is an extrordinary author.None disappointed me.
One of the main charachters' names is Hans, who is finishing up his movie "Der Nacht Hund" or "The Night Dog".Afterword,he is asked to work for Adolf Hitler's personal army as an S.S. Colonel. He agrees & then it gets good! The other character is named Keegan, he is a rich american who works for the embassy in berlin.He gets caught up in Hitler's business when his girlfriend Jennifer Gould is murdered, by Hans or siebenundzwanzig (which means "27"), and Keegan vows revenge on 27.The story takes place in germany during the late years of WWII.The most expected place for this isn't it??? The best too.
Mr. Diehl is a genius with literature he takes Irony & makes his own type of element.Irony is the comparison between reality and appearance.He twists it & makes it the comparison between reality & what reality is wanted to be by the people in the novel, which influences the reader to feel the same for the time being.It's sort of a painful, & suspenseful feeling, but at the same time it's a thrilling page turner. I personally think William Diehl is an extrordinary author. This book encouraged me to read more books.Not only books like it but, many different kinds of novels.I've read all of Tom Clancy's books, these 2 are the best authors I've read from so far.Other good authors are Robert Ludlum, Dean Koontz, & John Sandford.Read any of these authors books & its for sure you will not want to put it down for a while, & after reading it you will most likely read it again.I did & always do,sorry I didn't want to tell the story, If you want to know read it for yourself. You will like it I PROMISE!!!

Summary: You don't breathe a lot when you read a Diehl novel.
Review: William Diehl was a gunner on a B-17 (or B-24?) during WWII, flying over France and Germany. He was shot down and rescued by the French underground so he definitely writes from both experience and imagination in this book. This, my favorite Diehl novel, is set in the churning years of World War II. Originally published with the title "27," it's out now under "The Hunt." Master disguise artist/actor Johann Ingersoll is commissioned by Hitler to destroy the defenses of the United States. The plot is lethal, relentless, ruthless and already in motion -- the scope and details of the mission known only to someone known as "27"...
Diehl is a master at creating villains that can hold their own among the most heinous in literature. Johann Ingersoll is the cruelest, most insidious and most romantic of them all... If you liked Aaron Stampler (in PRIMAL FEAR, etc.), you'll shudder at Johann Ingersoll...
Read a book by William Diehl and come away stunned by his power and energy. It's like riding a twister--you'll sail high, fast, wide and land hard. But if you treasure the best in writing and in story telling, and love to watch a skillful wordsmith at work weaving unforgettable characters into storylines swift and deep, you'll love every moment. Seldom will you find more powerful writing.

Summary: compelling book
Review: With his use of historical figures interconnecting with fictional characters, William Diehl keeps you engrossed with the story page after page. It was tough to put the book down once I started. This is a book I would definitely put on you must read list.
