This has been a most satisfactory, page-turning read! But what else could one expect from author Michael Reit!
This is a third book in the Beyond the Tracks series. However, it is easily a stand alone read. The setting is set in a most interesting experimental horticultural camp in Rajsko, Poland. This camp involved prisoner botanists such as the character Felcia and other fellow scientific prisoners, with a true-to-life Dr. Caesar overseeing the work for developing a particular species of danelions for a most unusual use that was a surprizing reveal to me. Other themes involved in this saga were the treatment of inmates in concentration camps and of the resistance efforts and connections in and outside the camps.
Even though this is a work of historical fiction, it is based on reality and therefore I have come to highly respect those most amazing and courageous participants in such efforts to potentially alleviate prisoners' plights and foil the Nazi's foul plans. In my opinion, many readers will find this a riveting read.
A 5-Star rating from me.
