Time stood still for a moment in history, and the rest of the world continued to move. Suddenly, a storm appeared out of nowhere and stirred up what was hidden in the depths of the ocean. If reading these lines piques your interest, then you will enjoy Resurrection: The Deadly Mission by Chuck Morgan.

The setting is New York City in the year 2024. An electrical storm and a severe lightning strike made FBI agent Sarah Carter feel the chills. After causing the city to plunge into darkness. But that wasn't all the storm caused.

An enemy returning for revenge with all the hate that the world tried to bury for years. Between Sarah's search for a ghost from the past and a long-lost weapon in the depths of the ocean. Moreover, a dangerous mission postponed for eighty years portends destruction.

The events continue as we return to the year 1945 at the end of World War II. When Captain Christiaan Richter and the U-boat crew took over sub U-887 command to carry out a mission that could rewrite history. Organizations want to exploit the weapon, doubt, and persistence; thus, events follow one another.

Throughout thirty-six chapters, the author was able to take me into a world of fantasy that linked the present and the unknown of the past.

The composition of the characters made the story flow smoothly, as each character had a precise description and a specific role. You won't feel confused but connected and understand the feelings associated with each situation. Characters as Admiral Hawthorne, Captain Monroe, and Doctor Mueller.

One of the distinctive points is that the author didn't make Agent Sarah a superhero. On the contrary, he portrayed her as a normal human being who feels fear and hesitation sometimes and has the courage to confront when necessary.

The layout was well-organized, and I felt like I was holding an actual book. In addition, the writing style is thrilling, blending mystery and suspense.

Relying on the theory of time freezing while at the same time bending its use created a twist that sparked my curiosity towards the storyline.

The cover is beautiful, and I think that adding some illustrations expressing some elements of the story between the pages with the same degree of lighting and colors would give it more vibe.

Two things I would have preferred as a reader so I could track my reading progress. The table of contents and page numbering are two elements that my copy lacked.

The story is suitable for audiences starting with teens, as it contains many appealing themes, such as threats, danger, sci-fi, and secrets.

A fictional story that weaves the mystery of the past into the present. Showing adherence, survival, courage, fear, and choices. All makes Resurrection: The Deadly Mission a good reading choice.

Chuck Morgan's "Resurrection: The Deadly Mission" is a gripping fusion of historical intrigue, science fiction, and high-stakes suspense. The novel unfolds in a breathtaking narrative where the past collides with the present, leaving readers on the edge of their seats.

The story begins in 2024, with an ominous electrical storm resurrecting a Nazi submarine from the depths of the North Atlantic. The U-boat, frozen in time for 80 years, reemerges with a sinister mission: to detonate an atomic bomb in New York City—a task assigned to its crew by Hitler himself during the waning days of World War II. FBI Special Agent Sarah Carter is thrust into this extraordinary crisis, navigating a complex web of danger, history, and urgency to thwart a decades-old threat.

Morgan masterfully alternates between timelines, juxtaposing the tense present-day mission with the haunting backstory of Captain Christiaan Richter and his crew in 1945. This dual narrative enriches the novel, offering a nuanced exploration of duty, loyalty, and the weight of unfinished missions. The historical flashbacks are vividly detailed, drawing readers into the fraught atmosphere of World War II, while the modern-day storyline delivers heart-pounding action.

The character of Sarah Carter shines as a determined and resourceful protagonist. Her relentless pursuit to stop the resurrected submarine mirrors the resilience of those who face unimaginable challenges. Similarly, Captain Richter and his crew are portrayed with depth, evoking both sympathy and unease as they grapple with their macabre resurgence and unyielding commitment to a bygone cause.

Morgan's writing is crisp and evocative, seamlessly blending historical authenticity with speculative elements. The tension is palpable throughout, with each twist and revelation escalating the stakes. The premise—a Nazi submarine reanimated by a freak electrical storm—might sound fantastical, but Morgan's skillful storytelling grounds it in believability, making the narrative all the more compelling.

"Resurrection: The Deadly Mission" is not merely an action-packed thriller; it’s a thought-provoking exploration of how unresolved histories can resurface to challenge the present. It delves into themes of memory, legacy, and the enduring impact of past decisions on the future. Fans of historical thrillers and speculative fiction alike will find this book an enthralling read.

In conclusion, Chuck Morgan delivers a standout novel that seamlessly intertwines history and suspense, with a protagonist readers will root for and a plot that never lets up. "Resurrection: The Deadly Mission" is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a thrilling blend of history and high-stakes drama.

Grateful ARC recipient.

I wanted to love this book... But I'm afraid it didn't live up to its potential for me. I found the plot interesting but the delivery wasn't right for me. I felt the prose was repetitive in a number of places and the characters lacked autheniticy and depth, for me. There were places where I felt the characters were accidentally misgendered but the nature of the plot was that it wasn't clear if that was deliberate. I was left with plot questions when I finished.

If this were to be edited and attempted again I would be interested to see how it turned out. The premise was interesting. Sorry!
