La trilogie Bleiberg di David Khara
I admit that the first person narrative got a bit annoying in this book, but, fortunately, the story was interesting enough to keep my interest. Jay Corbin may be the main character, but I found Eytan Morg, the Mossad agent to be the most interesting character in the book, even though I guessed his background early on. It was a nice thriller with a fast-paced story and I will continue reading the series.

Although I did enjoy reading about Eytan Morgenstern and Elena working together, despite their previous bad history. And, it was nice to learn how Eli and Eyton first met (a very sweet flashback) and how Elena came to be the person she is today.
I think reading the books in chronological order is probably best, there are past events that makes much more sense if you have read the previous books. I just wish I had read this book before The Morgenstern Project because for instance the ending really makes sense of the beginning of The Morgenstern Project.
I want to thank the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy for an honest review!
I really liked Eytan Morgenstern in the first book “The Bleiberg Project” and was looking forward to reading more in the series.
In this book we get to follow Eytan Morgenstern, Jeremy Corbin and Jackie Walls and two new characters Avi and Eli, friends of Eytan as they take on Consortium. The book also takes us back in time when Eytan was a young boy after he escaped from Stutthof. I admit that I prefer the story during the Second World War to the one in the present time. I was more eager to know more about Eytan and how he came to be the man he is today than the present time hunt for the Consortium.
The book was OK to read and I'm looking forward to reading more books about Eytan Morgenstern in the future.

It is about an Israeli man Eytan who was subjected to genetic experiments by the Nazis during WW2., and people - the Consortium - attempting to capture him.
I understand this is book 3 in a series. Reads as a standalone story, but reading the others will enhancecthis book.

As I read David Khara’s “The Shiro Project” I was reminded of “Immobility” by Brian Evanson. The story of two giants created for the sole purpose of completing a task. While Evanson’s fine novel is a post-apocalyptic masterpiece, “The Shiro Project” leads us into a plot that is the beginning of the end of the world.
For years, dating back to Japanese prison-of-war camps and followed up by US Army research in the late 1950s governments have been tampering with and collecting viruses to monitor, understand, and afflict these weapons of mass-destruction on their unsuspecting enemies. The Nazi’s evil geniuses, in an effort to produce the Master Race, has built almost Frankensteinish models, enlarged humans that live extended life-spans, in an effort to repopulate the world with a super-human species.
Two such characters survived. One, Eytan, fights for good, and had been recruited in to the Mossad. The other, his female counter-part, Elena, works for evil under the command of the Consortium. Eli, Eytan’s control, a man he loved like a father, is kidnapped by the Consortium and the two assassins are forced to work together. They must discover who stole a viral strain of an airborne virus, taken by terrorists for a biological attack, and report back to The Cypher with the information on where they’re stored and who stole them.
In a thrill-a-minute romp from Prague to Tokyo, the two adversaries form a link of mutual trust as they are thrust headfirst in the rush to avoid the coming apocalypse and expose the truth of the evil that men do.
In The Morgenstern Project Morg meets up again with Jackie and Jeremy whom we met in the first book, The Bleiberg Project. They developed a deep bond with Eytan Morgenstern in that story which continues though they have not seen him since the events in that book ended. Jackie and Jeremy are targeted by a faction of the U.S. government who have been made aware of Morg's longevity and they want to study him and are willing to use whatever means they can to capture him, including targeting his friends and whatever family he may have. As the story progresses Eli tells the story of how he met Morg and how their lives had intertwined throughout the many years. We also meet more of Morg's family and as they fight this new front created by The Consortium we step through Morg's childhood and learn about his history.
The Morgenstern Project is the best of the series so far. As far as I can tell the series grows in character development, story development and David Khara, the author, grows in writing, story and character development skills as well. The book is full of excitement, action and the technology and niche of this story regarding Morg's physical abilities. As I read about Morg's past and the current story I was struck with a huge sadness for what he and the people of Poland went through during World War II and for what some of the story depicted during the current day part of the story. The Morgenstern Project draws you into everyone's lives in the story. At one point I was literally moved to tears and that is not something that easily occurs for me when reading a story, but David Khara wrote a very moving story and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
This is a well written plot with believable and great characters.

The English translation of the original french, "Le Projet Bleiberg" (2010) was exquisitely executed by Simon John. I eagerly await the next installment in this thrill-a-minute series.
From the present day, to the harrowing days of WWII, The Bleiberg Project is a fantastical story that kept me reading. Khara builds suspense by flashing back to events during the war, and giving the reader hints, and he adeptly moves between characters. I was most fascinated by Eytan Morg, the assassin for Mossad, and the twists in his story surprised me. I'm hoping that isn't the end of Eytan's character.
This is another great read from the team at LeFrenchBook -- I am so glad that someone is intent on making translations of award-winning, impressive crime and thriller novels from French into English. I'm hoping that LeFrenchBook will bring more of Khara's work into their upcoming catalogue.
My thanks to Le French Book for providing a copy for an honest review.
