Amazon Reviews:
"The first chapter which takes place in a Japanese warplane over Tibet is outstanding. It grabs the reader and doesn't let go. Excellent writing. The story line of each character is brilliantly constructed as the novel is brought to an explosive conclusion in Book Two. If you enjoy historical thrillers, we recommend this extraordinary effort.

“A powerful story of love and war. Actually, it's four intertwined stories of four tormented strangers and their confrontation with an evil force atop a 23,000 foot ridge in the Himalaya. Extensive research went into this 1930's pre-war novel. I was taken by the detailed, living backdrop of Spain's civil war, America's great depression, and the mystic Far East.” (GK)

"A good World War II epic with settings in civil war Spain, depression America, and the Far East. ” (AC)

“I loved this book for its historical scenes, believable characters, and intriguing plot. I was surprised at the romance interspersed throughout the story. In many ways, it's more a romantic-spiritual adventure than a novel about war.” (LoMo)

“An exciting read as it describes the reality of secret covert missions in world war 2. Definitely worth a read for historical reasons and for a story which will keep you guessing the coming together of the sub plots.” (AS…Australia)

“A gripping historical thriller that masterfully blends adventure, romance, and wartime intrigue. Set against the backdrop of pre-World War II, the story follows four characters on a dangerous mission to reach a crashed Nazi plane, unaware of its deadly cargo. The novel's vivid descriptions of Spain’s civil war, America’s Great Depression, and the mysticism of the Far East add layers of depth to the storyline. The intense action and historical accuracy kept me hooked till the explosive conclusion. (Trischel 10/24)
