J R Olson recommends

Rescue Run (2025)
(Peggy C Saga, book 2)
John Winn Miller
"RESCUE RUN is everything you want in a WWII historical thriller. Miller's intensive research shines through as he skillfully weaves real historical figures into his fictional story making the plot more intense. I was thoroughly entertained throughout the story with its many twists and turns, none of which I saw coming, and I write national security fiction for a living! As I raced through this page-turner of a story, I kept thinking, 'Someone needs to make a movie out of this story,' because it is that good. I can't wait to read the next one! Buy RESCUE RUN for yourself, and for those you know who love a great story."
