Some wars never end, and some never should. Ernest Beller stands at the end of a giant pit, watching as the Americans who liberated Dachau are trying to bury the countless bodies they have found. Nine years later, Beller still sees those bodies, and the guilty men who got away. An intricate psychological thriller, Walter Wager’s stunning novel explores the nature of vengeance, and the corrosive trauma of the Holocaust on generations of men. With a breakneck pace, Wager hits boiling point as a government agent begins investigating the murders of former Nazi’s, and sees the horror and the justice in the worst of acts.

By Donald Wayne Demko Walter Wager's TIME OF RECKONING has to rank as one of the greatest action novels ever written; why it hasn't been made into a movie is beyond me. Beginning with American troops liberating the Dachau Concentration Camp and seamlessly developing an intricate and moving plotline to the very last pages of the book, Wager illustrates a war story that mirrors how that level of horror never stops for some of the victims. The opening sequence of Ernest Beller, a three-year-old boy standing on the edge of a giant pit where the Americans are desperately trying to bury the decaying and disease-ridden bodies of the victims of the Nazi atrocoties is spell-binding, and the moment, nine years later, when the now Americanized Ernie Beller is confronted by thugs trying to mug him in the street is one of the most well-crafted scenes in any modern novel; I often read it to my high school students as an example of superb writing, and many of them clamor to borrow the book from me so that they can read it as well. Wager shows us the emotional and pshchological toll that war and violence can play on one individual, and when the government agent Merlin begins to try to unravel why all of these older ex-Nazis across the country are being killed off, one-by-one, decades after the war has ended, Wager brings us to one of the most exciting and moving climaxes in this genre of writing. The final page leaves the reader with a wry and yet chilling ending that you will not soon forget. I often think that the Bourne novels and movies owe a lot to this novel; no one does it better than Wager. If you have ever seen the movie TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING (based on the Wager novel VIPER THREE) than you know the standard he sets with a blend of provocative social commentary with powerful action and suspense. It doesn't get any better than TIME OF RECKONING.

This is in fact a very exciting tale of two people --one a US spy/assassin, the other a young doctor/death camp survivor -- on two different missions, and how they are expertly woven together at the end. A fine book.
