 24 Oct - The Last Jump is a fascinating novel. The author builds suspense by flashing back and forth to World War II as he tells the story of a son searching to find the true story of his father's service record. The book is well written, the action accounts are gripping, and all in all a good read. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. -- Emmett Lang - WWII Veteran and Author of Always A Soldier.
