You got me at conspiracy theories! The fact that this happened in World War 2 makes it even more interesting. I added it to my to-read list.

I have watched a few documentaries about this same theory. I will give it a read. Alternative views about how humans came to be I find interesting/ Thanks for the review.

This sounds thrilling! The perspective changes and single mission remind me of Cloud Atlas. I'm a big sci-fi fan so I'll be reading this at some point. Thank you for your review! :D

Wow! I didn't see that coming! When I viewed this book on BOTD, I've also had a misleading impression that it would be about the war and the considerable damage that it does to humanity, from a religious perspective. Reading your review made me feel like an addicted in which my psychedelic drug would be Save the Last Bullet for God. Now, I just need to have it. Congratulation for such an alluring review! I can only imagine how difficult it was to subtly transform the complexity of the book in a simple and distinguish review! Thank you!

I was struggling to get through the sample pages at first just because so much was introduced at once. The book really should have began with that psychiatrist and his patient because things became clearer for me at that point. I’m not into aliens and the Germans. It just doesn’t appeal to me, but your review is much appreciated.

Thanks for the enthralling, very detailed and balanced review. What a nice way of writing. I rarely read books where you reach half-way and it seems as though it is the end of the story. I would like to read this. Thanks for the recommendation.

I find it intriguing that the lesson of the book is not learned until reading the the last sentence. Great job on the review!

Interesting review. Is this book more alternate reality or parallel universe?

The intellectually challenging and thought provoking book "Save the Last Bullet for God" by JT Alblood depicts the reality of world from a different perspective, but it cannot change my faith in my God. The creative talent of the author could be appreciated by reading the intriguing facts in this book.

After reading your review, I don't think I'll be able to not read this book. Your review piqued my curiosity to that level. I have to agree with you about the jumps in time since I read the given sample. But even with that, I'll definitely read this book and I'm sure I'll enjoy it very much. Thanks so much for the lovely review.

From a sampling, this is an interesting historical fiction that will challenge the reader to think and contemplate. It is worth a second look if you are looking for something different. Well done.

I was going to pass on this book however, your review has intrigued me. I love a challenging book, and where I am at in my perception and faith, I am interested to learn of a different perspective. Thank you so much for your in depth review! I'm going to start reading it today!
