SYNOPSIS

When yesterday’s enemies become today’s best allies and when mankind seems on the verge of repeating the errors of the past, what can a lone man do against the madness that is bound to follow? After his mentor is kidnapped, a Mossad agent teams up with his worst foe, but first must face himself. He is enlisted against his will in a fight that’s not his own and takes him from present-day Czech Republic to past Manchuria. He has to put an end to the activities of a mysterious group who have gotten their hands on weapons of mass destruction. What do Japanese war camps, US Army research and an annihilated modern-day Czech village all have in common? [provided by the publisher]
The book contains some violence

TOUR QUOTATIONS

The Discerning Reader

This is one riveting narrative. I could not put this down, definitely commence reading when responsibilities won’t demand your time and attention, you won’t be able to loosen your grip from this fast paced enthralling story.
Referring to this trilogy as epic is an understatement, this is one amazing trilogy, biting my nails, as I anxiously await THE MORGENSTERN PROJECT. Highly highly recommend.

Musings of a Writer And Unabashed Francophile

The Shiro Project gripped me from the start, and I read it quickly, wanting to keep turning the pages (and not wanting to put it down to sleep).
I really can’t get enough of Eytan Morg. He’s compelling, and intriguing, and I want to know more.

New Books On My Shelves

No downtime, the story is fast paced and addictive.
By following the adventures of Eytan Morg, you get hooked in the blink of an eyes after the first sentences.
Action, suspense are accompanying this super duo in a well-crafted and well written story. It was a delight to read.

Queen of All She Reads

I highly enjoyed this quickly paced thriller and can’t wait to see what Mr. Khara dreams up for his characters next!

Books Are Cool

The action is fast-paced and there’s never a dull moment. However, that doesn’t mean that character development suffers. We get inside our protagonist and understand what drives all the people we meet. An original, eye-opening and entertaining read.

I Wish I lived In a Library

The characters were what really made this book enjoyable for me which I find unusual for this genre.

Book Nerd

This was  a fun read. It was fast-paced and the writing was engaging.
