Flame of Resistance: Book Review

Provided to me as a complimentary copy from Tyndale Publishers, Flame of Resistance portrayed an unlikely alliance of characters thrown together in the French Resistance Movement during Hitler's Third Reich.  An American pilot and a French prostitute reluctantly find themselves caught up in the Resistance Movement, but rise to the occasion as the urgency of the times pushes them to the forefront of a battle they never dreamed they'd be fighting.  Several other characters emerge as surprising Resistance participants, all combining to create a journey of unpredictable twists and turns that keep the reader guessing right up to the final chapter.

Though the complexity of the plot and the large amount of characters in the book made for a frustrating start, I was entirely hooked by the midpoint of the book and stayed up late to finish the book in one sitting. Author  Tracy Groot masterfully weaves an adventure story that appeals to the history buff, the romantic soul, and the action junkie.  I will definitely look for other books by this author in the future.
