The Ultra Betrayal by Glenn Dyer – 5 Stars
Publisher: TMR Press
ISBN: 9780999117347

I started with this book 2 in the author’s series and found it excellent. I never needed any other background from book 1, but am now interested enough in the Torch project to read Book 1 and the short story the author makes available to you when you sign up for his newsletter.

This book takes agents Conor and Emily on a mission to locate and apprehend both the missing British cryptologist working on the Ultra encryption breaking project with Alan Turing and the documents he plans to hand off to the Germans in WW II. First Emily pursues Gunnar Lind, the cryptologist, but gets nabbed by the Germans. So, Connor has the secondary job to find and rescue her. Behind the document trade deal is Gunnar’s wife’s father Benjamin Anderson, owner of a ball bearing factory – ball bearings were in premium demand by all military parties. His motive was money. So, various elements are in play with the Germans not only wanting the documents and cryptologist, but also a better deal for the bearings. Who devised the plan to steal the documents? Who all were involved? Those along with all the exciting action involving spy vs. spy is supplemented by the inner betrayal plans of Himmel against Hitler. The history itself is well worth the read. Thank you Netgally.com for allowing me to read this book and present my honest opinions.

Because I read and reviewed Glenn Dyer’s novel, “The Torch Betrayal”, he contacted me requesting that I read and review his new novel, “The Ultra Betrayal”. I immediately agreed since I gave “The Torch Betrayal” five stars. I am again giving his novel five stars. The Ultra Betrayal” was one of those books that I could not put down.

Again, I was super impressed with Mr. Dyer’s knowledge of that historical period and enjoyed the inclusion of big players in the history of that time. It brought a sense of reality to the novel itself. Although knowing that this is a work of historical fiction that includes MI6 and OSS operatives who are not historically correct. I can very well see that the operations and treasonous acts could have occurred.

I was very interested in the author’s notes at the end of the novel which did give the reader the reality of operations and individuals’ roles in this novel. I’m sure that if the British and Americans hadn’t broken the German codes, the outcome of the war may have been very different.

I thought this story was very carefully developed and the characters well-conceived to provide the most suspense and realism to the novel. I hope that Mr. Dyer remembers me after he finishes his next novel. I would happily agree to read and review it also. Congratulations, Mr. Dyer, on another successful novel.
