Review of Terminal Call
To what extent can loyalty cause havoc rather than expansion? What happens when betrayal rears its ugly head when you least expect it? These are some of the questions that pop up in one’s mind while reading Terminal Call by Richard L. Winslow. This 255-page novel rides on power, guilt, and devotion.
The plan to create a new Germany initiates a series of events that leads to murder and identity change, among other things. The book is separated into three parts. The first part provides the details of the plan and action being put towards the spread of power. It introduces the book’s major characters like Martin Bormann, Hans Dieter, Karl Sielbach, etc. The second part of the book focuses on recent happenings. It regards the action that began years ago while also providing information on the events that occurred in the past. The concluding aspect of the book fills the missing puzzle of the identity of the characters and the aim they worked towards. Read up on this book to discover how deceit can be used as a weapon to get one’s desire.
Richard’s writing is superb and smooth. The author is excellent at weaving the elements of suspense and flashback to create a fantastic-thrilling plot. I was spellbound by the way the author implanted the technique of suspense at strategic points in the novel. For instance, the revelation of the identity of Adam Goldman and Richard Braun was simply fascinating and startling. The disclosure was done gradually, making me curious and eager to read further. The author blended the past and the present simultaneously without leaving any room for a mix-up. The details that make up each character were well thought out to make each distinct.
There are many things I like about this book, starting from the plot to the development of the characters. At the beginning of the book, I was full of doubt about the excitement it would bring due to the subject matter. However, my interest aroused a few pages later. My favourite character is Adam Goldman. He had a past he was not proud of, but he stood up to his past when the time came, not minding the consequence. I am rating this book 4 out of 4 stars because of the author’s excellent use of several literary techniques to create an intriguing plot and because I found it captivating. Also, the book was well edited, as I noticed only a few grammatical errors.
Furthermore, there is nothing to dislike about the book. The characters were well structured, and the author’s careful effort to create a fantastic plot was seen and appreciated.
In conclusion, readers will learn worthy lessons about what it means to stay true to a course. It will also provide an insight into what it means to be tactful and resourceful. I recommend this book to people who love the military lifestyle and wish to know more about how it operates.
