The Rookie : The Eighth Air Force, Volume Three

This is the third in the series of action-packed novels written by Cheryl Pula. These are exciting, spell-binding books about the young men who served in WWII in the Eighth Air Force. While the books are fictional, every story within is based on a true story that Cheryl obtained after extensive interviews with actual vets from WWII. Each of the eight books in the series follows the timeline of the actual war, providing readers with a unique insight into what life was like during World War II. You can obtain all eight books now and “binge read” to your heart’ s content. Each book in the series ends with a cliffhanger, leaving readers wondering if any of our heroes will survive. BOOK REVIEW: Cheryl Pula has done it again. This is the third in her series about the Eigth Air Force. Beginning with her first book in the series she has continued to paint excellent pictures that give us a glimpse of what these men and women went through during World War II. The discriptions of the scenes of war leave you on the edge of your seat while the building of the characters makes you feel you know and care about them. You need to start with Book One and read through them all to get the full impact and to get to know the characters. I anxiously await the release of Book Four. BOOK REVIEW: I recently finished Pula’s third volume, “The Rookie”, and had the urge to review. So here goes! Once again, book three of Pula’s series resumes the experiences of the men of the PRETTY BABY, a B-17 heavy bomber from the 91st Bombardment Group (Heavy) engaged in routine, and often deadly, daring daylight bombing raids into Axis territory in Europe from Bassingbourn, England during 1943. This volume covers the events from July 15 to September 19, 1943 and the book begins by resolving the cliffhanger from book two: Did the FULL HOUSE’s new rookie Bombardier, Jesse Nowakowski, succeed in completing his bomb run as Lead Bombardier on his very first combat mission with his crew? Well, I’m not gonna tell! You’ll have to read it yourself and find out.
