Linda’s Book Obsession Reviews “The Hunt For The Peggy C,”” A World War 2 Maritime Novel”, 2022, Bancroft Press, On Tour with Suzy Approved Book Tours

John Winn Miller, the author of “The Hunt For The Peggy C” has written an intriguing and suspenseful novel. The genres are Military Historical Fiction, War Fiction, Thriller and Suspense Action Thriller. The timeline is just before the United States is officially entering World War Two. I appreciate that John Winn Miller provided much needed research material during this time period at sea. The author visually describes his dramatic characters as complex, complicated, obsessive, and risk takers. This is a fantastic adventure at sea, that is comparable to a cat and mouse game with the most severe consequences.There are betrayals, pirates, submarines, U-boats, mutiny, land mines, war time threats, fights, drowning, danger, and death.

Captain Jake Rogers is a risk taker, and transports contraband, and other cargo that many other Captains would never take. At the beginning of World War Two, there are many obstacles and risks. Captain Rogers is in charge of The Peggy C, and has an interesting crew. Many feel that he will take anything for a price.

His latest assignment comes with the greatest risk of all. In Amsterdam, after witnessing the threat of the Jews, he agrees to take a Jewish family that are fleeing the Nazis. Unfortunately his greatest adversary, Viktor Brauer, a German Captain, is determined to sink The Peggy C, and kill Jake Rogers, by any means. I highly recommend this intense and suspenseful thriller to other readers.
