This review of Saboteur by Kevin Murphy is concise but salient in capturing the important details of the story. The book is a blend of non-fictional facts with fictional characters to re-enact some part of the historical events and experiences of World War 1. Ben Stendt's role as a saboteur aligned with Germany was tasked with transporting a highly explosive cargo of munitions for the Allied war effort in World War I from New York to Halifax in November 1917. The journey through the high sea was riled with perils, and we saw the determination of Stendts to complete his assignment despite the obstacles.

Saboteur by Kevin Murphy sounds like an absolute gem for fans of historical thrillers. The portrayal of espionage and sabotage during World War I is a fascinating aspect, especially since these covert operations often get overshadowed by larger battles in history books. Ben Stendt's morally gray character seems like a perfect fit for the story, adding depth and complexity that will surely keep readers engaged. Definitely a must-read for those who enjoy a blend of history and suspense.

The inclusion of espionage and sabotage in the story reflects war not only as a conflict of physical battles, but also as a fight of intelligence and hidden strategies.

It looks like an interesting historical fiction book that blends fiction and true historical facts. Though the book sounds intriguing, I think I will skip the book as I am not a huge fan of historical fiction. Thank you for your review!

Everyone knows about titanic because it sunk. However, there are so many more ships and dangerous journeys which were completed that nobody knows about. Congratulations on the BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

This captivating illustration draws you in from the first few lines in the first chapter. The detail the author gives causes you to imagine the scene as it were happening and you the reader are a bystander seeing it all. The author’s descriptively makes everything seem so real that had he not mentioned in the preface that it was fiction the reader would more than likely believe that the story was a true account. The story had me on the edge of my seat before the end of the first chapter and I am excited to read the rest of the book. I definitely would give the book a 5 star rating on the appearance of the book, of the detail of the story, and of the short and sweet introduction as long introductions tend to cause me to lose interest. Kudos to the author. I’d love to read more of their books.

[Seamstress]

Definitely not my cup of tea, because despite my preference to read about complex characters, the topic of war kills any chance I will be able to enjoy the book. It is blood and suffering, death and torture, just watch the news, and you can see why I don't want to do anything with it.
