Amongst My Enemies
Amongst My Enemies
William F. Brown (author)
Product Description
Inside an old German U-Boat rusting on the bottom of the Baltic are millions in gold bars, stolen art and jewels, and a secret that could tear NATO apart. The only one who knows the truth is Mike Randall, a battle-scarred American who survived four months in the frozen Hell of northern Germany at the end of the war. When he does speak up, he puts a target on his own forehead, one which the Russians, the West Germans, the U-boat's former owners, the Israeli Mossad, and even his own government quickly take aim at. Some want the gold, some want him dead, and some want proof about a high-ranking spy inside NATO itself. Randall's wants are much simpler. Caught between the Kremlin and a new, deadly, 4th Reich, he wants revenge and to satisfy some old debts with a steel-jacketed bullet.

Review
5-Stars! “Great Cold War Thriller! This was a very suspenseful, edge-of-your seat thriller about the closing days of World War II . . . The descriptions of their hardships were so realistic that I felt I was their with them . . . The story was exciting and engaging and really reminded me of some of the books written by Alistair MacLean that I read years ago. There was also a strong Tom Clancy feel in the machinations of the various spies (but without Clancy's techno-jargon) and character who was an ordinary guy who needs to survive in a arena that is foreign to him. Mike was an interesting character - an ordinary man who goes to extra-ordinary ends to get what he feels is justice. If you are looking for a Cold War thriller, this one was very engaging.

5-Stars! “A Must Read for Historical Fiction and Suspense Fans! I really enjoyed this story of Mike Randall and the U-Boat from Nazi Germany. The story had a very realistic feel to it. It made me want to go out and research some of the people listed in it . . . The descriptions of the Nazi SS guys had me cringing for their victims . . . Overall, this would be a great pick for history and suspense buffs. It felt real, like the author stole the idea from a headline news story!

5-Stars! “Redemption in the Good, Bad and Ugly Remnants of WWII! No, this is not just another war story! William Brown takes the reader to the heights and dregs of the human condition, giving glimpses to the motives and relationships that are ruled by head and heart, sometimes but not always balanced or whole . . . . This is a story that speeds along like a Ken Follett or Eric Ludlum novel of old. For those who love adventure, thrills, and mystery with a tinge of romance, this novel will leave you breathless and wanting more from this skillful writer. Splendidly written!
Crystal Book Reviews – 1/4/12
5-Stars! “An entertaining historical thriller! This story might be categorized as “historical fiction,” but the second word almost seems incorrect—the historical details are so well interwoven and authentic that the reader will swear Mr. Brown lived through them. It might also be categorized as “a thriller”—there are thrills and suspenseful twists at every turn of the page . . . It reminds me of Jeffery Deaver’s Garden of Beasts and Frederic Forsythe’s The Odessa File . . . I’m a writer and I often do much more than just marvel at another writer’s creativity—I try to learn from it. As entertainment, this story is much better than The Undertaker, the Brown book I reviewed previously. It is also very different and full of deeper meaning. It provides one answer to the eternal question: What must good men and women do when evil walks among them? Dean Koontz has made a career answering this question. Mr. Brown is off to a good start doing the same here.”

5-Stars! “A Highly Entertaining and Nail-Biting Read! I'd forgotten how much I could enjoy a good story, even if it is about subjects I don't usually read. And "Amongst My Enemies" is one good, nail biting story . . . Brown has done an enormous amount of research in writing this novel, from the details of a U-boat interior and the fishing industry in Sweden to Nazi politics and legends and underwater salvage operations. The novel is a fast, exciting read - the author excels at keeping the reader both gasping for air and reading on . . . I still may not be a fan of World War II and espionage novels, but I am becoming a fan of William Brown. "Amongst My Enemies" is a highly entertaining novel.
