Saboteur
A Novel of Love and War
By Dean Hughes
This is a story of Andy Gledhill, a young soldier / spy in WWII. He is from Delta, UT. The story is about him and the family and girlfriend he left behind. It was a good story, but I found myself editing all his mistakes about Delta. Sorry, but the train tracks are not EAST of town and neither was the Topaz relocation camp.
One interesting thing I learned...."Do you know what sabotage is?" Simone (AKA Elise) asked. "Sabot is the name for the shoes we wear here on the farm--wooden shoes like the ones you two are wearing. During strikes, workers tossed them into the machinery as a way to shut down factories that weren't fair to them. It took courage to do such a thing, but it was the right thing to do. You're asking us to wait until the fight is over before we join the battle. I see no courage in that...."
BTW..... Elise dies in the book.
That's what courage'll do for ya.....but of course she saved the hero.
Until next time ;o)
