Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a book I was a little hesitant about going into. I mean... how many more "let's kill Hitler" stories could there be? But I gave it a try and I'm glad I did.

The writing, the characters and the pacing of the book kept me very interested and I actually felt my heart beat faster as the story would rise to an action peak and slowly calm down as the action ebbed. Very well done.

the year is 1956 and the Axis won WWII. Germany and Japan control pretty much all of the Eurasian continent. Yael is a teen-aged girl who is a Death Camp survivor. Not only that, she is the survivor of having been the subject of human experimentation that left her with a unque set of skills. Having joined the Resistance in hopes of one-day avenging those loved ones killed because of the Reich, her skills are put to the test when she goes undercover in the annual cross-continent motorcycle race from Berlin to Tokyo. If she wins, she gets an audience with Hitler himself, putting her in the position to bring the Reich crumbling down.

So her job is simple, infiltrate a globally broadcast event, win the race and kill Hitler. Easy, right?

This book ended in such a way that I very much want to read the next.
