Another memorable and remarkable offering from Michael Reit. Phoenix Rising is a non-stop, page-turner full of suspense and nail-biting action. As the reader reconnects with Adela, Felix, Karl, and Albert Goring, among others, the fight for or against the WWII atrocities ticks along in time-bomb detonation. This is the second book in the Covert War Chronicles, and although it can be read as a stand alone, I'd encourage others to read Book 1 for connectivity and just because I believe Reit is an awesome writer. Amazing historical fiction that can totally grip your heart. He made the characters come alive for me and feel like I could reach out and touch them. Another thing I really appreciate about this writer is that he keeps his work 'clean;' that is, minus foul language and intimate bedroom scenes. This is always a plus for me.
I give this work a 5 Star rating.
