Commentary Supposing Books The Traitor's Emblem

Based on a true story: A Spanish sea captain rescues four German castaways during a treacherous storm in 1940. He doesn’t know who they are or where they came from, but one of them gives him a mysterious gold-and-diamond emblem before disembarking. Decades later, the captain’s son receives a substantial offer for it and is told an astounding story behind the object: it holds the key to Paul Reiner’s lifelong quest. . . . Munich, 1919. After his family falls into disgrace, fifteen-year-old Paul dreams of the heroic father he never knew. But one night, seconds before committing suicide, Paul’s cousin reveals a terrible secret about his father’s death. This discovery turns Paul’s world upside down and leads him on a hunt in Nazi Germany to uncover the mystery surrounding his father’s death. The Traitor’s Emblem is an epic novel spanning decades of family betrayal, impossible love, and the high price of vengeance. Set against the menacing streets of Depression-era Munich and the cruel rise of Nazism, Gómez-Jurado’s spellbinding thriller proves again that he is a master of narration.

Appraise Based On Books The Traitor's Emblem

Fun to read! A work of fiction that created enough intrigue to make me look up some facts. The writer was able to really paint a visual image of that difficult times - very entertaining!

Spanish journalist turned author Juan Gomez-Jurado is going places, winner of the impressive sounding 'Premio de Novela Ciudad de Torrevieja' (even more impressive when you learn the prize was a half million US$), the rights to his first book (God's Spy) have been sold in 42 countries, his first two books claim 3 million readers and his third and latest 'The Traitors Emblem' is being translated into 40 languages. 'Traitors Emblem' is set in post world war one Germany against the background of

Excelente novelaI absolutely loved this book.I read it in a little over a week, only because I had to go to work! If you like historical fiction this novel is for you.

I felt like this book was uneven; parts of it were extremely thrilling and kept my interest, while other parts sort of just meandered along. Paul is a young kid in post-WWI Germany, living at his aunt and uncle's house, as they've been afraid to kick Paul and his mom out because of some secret only she knows. After Paul discovers that his dad was not killed in a shipwreck years ago, as he's been led to believe, he and his mom are thrown out and have to start making a future for themselves.

This is a book that has you on the edge of your seat for the entire storyline. Gomez Jurado does a wonderful job connecting historical facts with fiction. The love story plot it was good, but not perfect. All in all, The Traitor's Emblem is a great novel.

A novel of revenge, betrayal, and love, a good heir to Alexandre Dumas. Paul Reiner and his mother, Ilse, live in Baron von Schroeders home in Munich as servants. Ilse is the Baroness Brunhildas sister and the Reiners are dependent on Brunhildas generosity, what little there is of it. There is little of the barons fortune left in the wake of his gambling and that does not change the way Pauls cousin Jürgen treats Ilse and Paul. Jürgen is a petty tyrant and a coward and vents his arrogant sadism

I felt the book was very much like an Edward Rutherfurd or Follet (in Fall of Giants), in its inter-generational nature. While it took place mainly within Alys and Paul's life, there was some stretch added to the timeline. I enjoyed it, especially with the NIZA Germany backdrop, but would not call it stellar, as the two aforementioned authors tend to have their works labelled.The story keeps a good interest from start to end. I am used to the usually Hitler is good, rah rah, or Hitler is bad,
