The book seems interesting as it has the backdrop of actual history of the Nazi regime with an added twist. I'm not sure it's for be because of the religious under tones but I'm pretty sure it would be a fun read for lovers of its genre. Thanks for the thorough review.

Very disappointing to see that, some religious concepts addressed in the book are seemed to be irrelevant. Otherwise thanks for your awesome review.

This seems like an interesting read about war. Also, different cultures and beliefs of different countries were discussed. Congrats on this great review.

Post by Isaac Obeng Ebu »

Sometimes unique is good, which is an interesting premise. i have always been intrigued by World War II stories, and with the twist of immortality, it adds an interesting twist to the story and gives a different perceptive to it. i would like to read it when given the chance. i was happy to read your review, it made choosing a book to read easier.

A Buddhist trying to wreak havoc on the planet. Wow. That's a new one. I just might try this work of fantasy next.

Great review!

Thanks for your review! The plot sounds highly interesting! The discussion of immortality is very relevant in our society. People always want more time, but do not think of the consequences that come with it.

Fictional history mixed with immortality is a great idea. This story seems to offer a great deal to its reader. However, the religious aspects do seem a bit sketchy.

The title alone captured my attention. Even more when its the mixture of historical and fantasy.

I like the historical aspect of the book. For that reason alone, I can't wait to finish reading this one. I like what I have read so far.

I've never heard of "alternative history" as a subject before. Looks great!

To elaborate on my previous post, I'm not interested in reading ANY book that takes place during Nazi times, or in Buddhist monasteries or Tibet, even if the book is about immortality and the pitfalls of such. You did a wonderful job conveying your excitement about this book, though, so I hope others who'd like this plot find it.
