À propos de cet audio

When Hitler’s reign of terror begins, David Gabinsky loses everything he holds dear. Driven by vengeance, young David leads a courageous group of Jewish resistance fighters against the Nazi regime. When Germany is defeated, he journeys to Jerusalem looking for a new life. What he finds is a new love - Shoshana, a beautiful but broken Holocaust survivor - and a new war with an unexpected enemy. The British command has its orders: keep the Jews out of Israel. As David single-handedly wreaks havoc on the British, even Shoshana’s love can’t stop him from risking everything - including his life. Lone Wolf in Jerusalem is a suspenseful, action-packed novel, a worthy contribution to Jewish historical fiction. Using adventure, drama, and romance, Diskin has created a captivating story that entertains and educates.

This is a historical fiction and spy-action thrilled written from the perspective of a lone Jewish Zionist fighter in Jerusalem prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. The topic, location, integration of history and exciting nature of the book was right up my ally. I enjoyed the ride, and it was interesting to learn about the history of the splinter groups of Jewish rebels fighting for establishment of a state.

However, make no mistake, this is mostly a male-centred action fantasy book. It's really told from the male perspective and emphasizes action and excitement. Almost like a James Bond novel for the Middle East. The female characters are mostly one-dimensional. Even the main female protagonist, Shoshana (narrated expertly in the audiobook), isn't fully formed. She certainly has depth to her, but by the end felt a bit like a male fantasy of how a woman might recover from major trauma and become a strong fighter.

But I still enjoyed this book. It was exciting and enjoyable. Worth a try if you enjoyed the classic Exodus, which is a similar work of historical fiction. I found the narration to be excellent. The main narrators (Cohen and Salem) expertly navigate complex accents and characters. Even in scenes when they play multiple characters, I was never confused by who was speaking.

Interesting and exciting historical fiction
