I enjoy reading war stories and this was a well-detailed story of a what occurred during the WWII to uncover and destroy the deeds of the Germans. This book is going to be a great one and I can't wait to start reading it. Wonderful review on this book. Congratulations on BOTD.

I do like reading historical fiction but I’m not a fan of the one for war. With the review and the sample I read, it seems like a really interesting book for those who enjoy this type of book. Anyway, good one from the author. Congratulations on being the book of the day! Your review is well written.

While I don't always enjoy reading political stories, I love learning new things from various countries. The in-depth details of the environment of the setting may entice me to read this historical novel. Congratulations on the BOTD.

What an intriguing war story! For me, it was a mix of war and investigation. The plot seems to be suspense-filled and this made me connect to the subject. Congrats on the book of the day.

I like historical fiction. The fact that it comes espionage as well is a plus for me. I'd really like to see how James' and Jack's mission turns out.

War stories just has a way of roping in any or a combination of these three nations, Germany, Britain, and the United States. A surprising addition in this book is Egypt. I'd love to see how that played out.

I'm interested in learning about the activities of the treacherous Vichy French in the Middle-East. It hadn't occurred to me that they had a foreign policy at all. Also fascinating would be to find out the author's take on the unfortunate activities of all those other foreign actors on the African stage.

I was impressed with every process the author went through in preparing and compiling this historical fiction book called "Warramunga War". Through the reviews the stories presented sound very alluring. Not only because it is the first novel in the trilogy, the setting used in the story as well as the author's extensive knowledge of the military and the famous war amazes me. Thank you for your review.

The unique location of Egypt did pique my interest. I congratulate Greg Kater on his fine work in writing this book. The cover art is interesting. The conceptual substance is compelling, and I believe that being reminded of the fantastic past conflicts will help keep the human race sane. The character growth is tremendous.
This work, in my opinion, satisfies the necessary criteria for quality literature. Congrats on botd!
