"The Hindenburg Letter blasts off like a Nazi super-weapon, and doesn’t slow down until it reaches the explosive climax. Another brilliant historical thriller from the mind and pen of Roger Conlee. Unadulterated edge-of-the-seat fun." --Jeff Edwards, American Authors Association "Is the lust for revenge strong enough to go through the regime of Nazi Germany to claim it? "The Hindenburg Letter" follows a tale where one may be prepared to do just that. Roger L. Conlee is an experienced writer of thrillers with a focus on World War II, a subject he knows well. He places his knowledge alongside his fiction for an entertaining romp. "The Hindenburg Letter" is a delightful and exciting read all the way through." - Midwest Book Review
"One thing for sure about a Roger Conlee book, there are enough plot twists, turns and surprises to keep your blood stirred and the pages turning. Conlee also, in my opinion, is a master at dialog and can bring home his messages with sureness. There is nothing obtuse about Conlee's writing. The Letter is a fun book and completely believable." - David Nuffer, author of “The Best Friend I Ever Had” Roger Conlee's third novel, The Hindenburg Letter , places him among the elite of World War II "what if" novelists. Reminiscent of the earlier and best of Jack Higgins' books, ( The Eagle Has Landed , et al), Conlee's latest carries the reader from character to character, surprise to surprise, plot-twist to plot-turn so smoothly and swiftly, you don't have time to search for flaws. The historical characters - William Randolph Hearst, Walt Disney, Franklin Roosevelt, Hermann Goering to name but a few - are not only believable but necessary to the plot. Rich in documentary detail, The Hindenburg Letter sometimes reads as non-fiction, probably because so much of it is based on fact. But one also hopes that this is not the last we will read of Conlee's fictional every-man hero Jake Weaver. - Robert P. Jones, author of “Wine of the Generals” and other suspense thrillers "The plot, pacing, characters and dialogue all jump far ahead of his first two novels. Conlee’s got the feel of really fine narrative. I loved the twists – scared hell out of me. Captures the best way possible to bring in the big names: Roosevelt, Disney, Harry Hopkins, Wernher von Braun, William Randolph Hearst and others.." - John Martin, Columbia University School of Journalism, formerly ABC News, New York |

"An amazing page-turner. Roger Conlee spins a gripping story of two alternative timelines running side-by-side. Enough ideas are crammed into Counterclockwise for several books, but somehow the story never gets crowded, or rushed, or confusing. Against all odds, he has managed to weave all of these disparate elements into a single seamless plot. The result is a great read, and the stuff of pure human adventure. " - Jeff Edwards, author of the military thriller, Torpedo With vivid panoramas of wartime life in Los Angeles and a light dusting of science fiction, Roger Conlee's latest offering is a highly involving read that's practically impossible to put down before the last page is turned. Sterling (Kansas) Bulletin This unconventional book-within-a-book is an absorbing combination of genres that never fails to surprise and intrigue as each layer is peeled back. Walter Haskins

"There are few war novels that rise to this level of expertise ... This is a page turner; you will not want to put it down until you have finished the book even if it is well past your bedtime. There have been few really good books written about the heroics of WWII and now you can add this one to that list. It is that good!" - Military Writers Society of America Places the reader on the front lines, taking cover in muddy foxholes, suffering with malaria, and facing a fanatical Japanese adversary ... demonstrates an understanding of tactics and weaponry. The constant stress and fear in Every Shape, Every Shadow should resonate with readers when they consider these same pressures facing Americans deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan. --Marine Corps Gazette Every Shape, Every Shadow is a must-read for veterans, particularly those of the Marine Corps and Army infantry, who will recall the sights, sounds and horror of face-to-face combat. Conlee's character development and style--taking us from his protagonist to other characters of historical significance in rapid succession, chapter by chapter--keeps us turning the pages. Very quickly. --Sterling (Kansas) Bulletin Gripping World War II novel of Guadalcanal... -- North County Times (Oceanside, Calif.) Chronicles the experiences of a young Marine during the fierce fighting with the Japanese. -- Galesburg (Illinois) Register-Mail "Sequencing is superb and his story-telling skills draw readers in and hold them." -Anson (Texas) Western Observer |
