Iron Star

Summary: well crafted non-stop thriller
Review: I just finished "IRON STAR", I couldn`t put it down. A powerful book with a fresh premise and furious pace! "Skass" is one sick puppy, he makes other nazis look like *Nsync wannabes. Great book, I can`t wait for the movie!

Summary: what a plot
Review: I liked this book because it shows the desperation people have just to win. The Germans thought they could win the war by finding an assassin to kill the President of the United States. The assassin they choose didn't help the situation by going on a personal killing spree. The multiple plot twists held my attention throughout the entire book. This is a must read story!

Review: I loved this book! The descriptions were so vivid. The story kept a nice pace, and the characters were well done. I hope there are more adventures for Joe Copp.

Summary: Edge of my seat
Review: I picked up this book almost by mistake. I like Nazi mysteries and this is one of the best. The FBI character is right on the money. The plot is so very different, tracking down a serial killer who is stalking FDR in the last days of the war, but also, we learn, really the first days of the Cold War. I read it in one day, just three sittings. I was on the edge of my seat most of the time. I cannot, will not ruin the climax for you but it's a doozy. Just a really good book.

Summary: Grusome by Gripping
Review: Imagine a South African born German agent version of Hannibal Lecter meeting FDR and Elliot Ness, and you have some sense of the wild imagination and cleverness behind this story. In some ways it is as sickening as Hannibal. In other ways it is so endlessly inventive and contains so many twists and turns that it is a truly gripping story.

The plot is direct. The Germans release a serial killer with the assignment of killing FDR. The FBI has relegated to a desk job their best tracker of criminals because he is too much of a loner and too violent for the modern FBI. The race is on, and it is never dull. Kelleher clearly has an amazing imagination, a good sense for writing very fast action fiction, and a deep understanding of the hideously pathological. He combines them into a novel which I cannot recommend as pleasant reading (it is simply too gory and contains grotesque behavior by a serial killer who is clearly bizarre) but I can assure the artistry of the writing and the pace of the unexpected twists and turns makes it an absolutely fascinating way to spend some hours away from every day life.

Summary: A Scary and Exciting Book!
Review: This was a very good book with a unique twist to assasins. You will never read a book with this approach again. A German serial killer named Willy Skass is removed from prison in Germany and trained by the Gestapo. His mission is to kill Roosevelt. He is a demented serial killer and a cannibal. When he arrives in America he begins a killing spree as he stalks Roosevelt across the country. He is tracked and trailed by an F.B.I. agent named Joe Copp. The serial killer is absolutely frightening. He kills everything he sees. He uses his Nazi "Z" agents to hide from the authorities all over the map. The book finally roars to a conclusion. You will be white knuckled and on the edge of your seat. Definitely read this book. You will not regret it.
