The Trojan Plague by Pierce Roberts is the
second book I’ve read by this author. Although I wrote favorably of the first
book, I couldn’t finish this one, abandoned the story at the 40% mark of the
book. Roberts did use the same interesting cast of characters as before,
including the husband and wife team of veterinarians, but the story just did
not grab me enough to see it through to the end. Once again, this novel was
about a Nazi conspiracy to bring about the final solution, and I’m tired of
that story line. While the plot itself, aside from the characters was
interesting, I was not able to suspend my reality testing enough. Also, the
dialogue is weak, and there’s a lot of dialogue that is used to move the story
along. So, I can’t give this novel a strong recommendation.
