Desperate Ground

Rating:
Summary: MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
Review: How many times did I sit and listen to my father's stories of WWII, 'The Big One,' as he called it. Some of the stories were fascinating, some were of horror, but always in his eyes I could see a hundred stories that he would never tell. These were buried deep in his spirit, happenings that could never be mentioned and would be tucked away forever in his heart and mind.

Desperate Ground could very well be one of those stories, set during the Nazi regime it tells of a time when men and women, on both sides of the line, battled not only the effects of war, but their own haunting fears, desires and convictions.
The author introduces you to characters that you are sure lived through his excellent descriptive writing of their physical appearance and their inward workings. You become engrossed in their story, their motives and their very existence. The final climax of the story reveals what each was truly made of.
The ending may well stay with you forever.

If you love World War II stories, mystery, and intrigue, this novel is for you. Well written, thought provoking, and real to life. A story you will remember for a long time to come. Truly recommended!

Review: I just finished James Benn's Desperate Ground and it is wonderful. I love to be engrossed from cover to cover and to learn historical details from mystery novels. Mr. Benn did not disappoint. The charecter development is very strong and there are the plot twists that kept me intrigued. He appears to be a great new talent and I look forward to his next in the series.
