Final Mission: Zion - A World War 2 Thriller
"A must-read for lovers of World War II fiction!" - Don McKale, Third Reich/Hitler expert and author of Nazis After HitlerIn 1938, as the Third Reich is just beginning its reign of terror, hundreds of Jewish orphans are hidden away in Austria, in the midst of their underground escape to Palestine. The only man who knows their location is killed, leaving the children with precious little time to survive. The dead man leaves a single set of Find U.S. Department of War agent Neil Reuter—he will save the children. Reuter, who is part-Native American, is a wreck, grieving the murder of his wife and unborn son. Realizing this mission goes beyond his grief, he accepts, hurtling himself toward the menace of the Third Reich. Relentlessly pursued by the Nazis, as well as his own people from the U.S. Department of War who believe he's traveling into the Reich to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Reuter uses his unique set of skills to battle his way from San Francisco to England, through Germany and on to Austria in a race against time to find the hidden group of children. A sweeping saga of espionage and suspense, over the backdrop of a tantalizing love story, FINAL ZION combines modern storytelling with the excitement and cliffhangers of the classic Saturday afternoon movie serial.

About the author
Chuck Driskell
19 books43 followersThe youngest of five children, Chuck’s initial love of fiction was borne out of a lack of money coupled with an overactive childhood imagination. On Sunday afternoons during his childhood, Chuck’s parents would take the entire family to the public library—it was pleasurable and, best of all, free. He credits The Shining, by Stephen King, as being the first novel he ever read.
Following high school, Chuck joined the Army after finding little inspiration (or money) for college. He was stationed stateside at Fort Sill and as a paratrooper at Fort Bragg; but it was Chuck’s two-and-a-half years stationed in Germany that forged many of the memories that fuel his interest today.
Following his honorable discharge from the Army, Chuck endured more schooling before embarking on a career in advertising. In 2001 he co-founded B2B Media, Inc., a company that would go on to be named the second fastest-growing company in South Carolina.
While his career was progressing nicely, an active skydiver, Chuck suffered an accident while BASE jumping from the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia. Although he’s since recovered, the accident took away his ability to compete in numerous sports. It was the accident, and his resulting physical limitations, that would later become the seed for his need to write.
As his career churned on, Chuck married his wife in 2003. Fulfilled personally and professionally, something began to tug at his mind. Before his accident he’d been able to satisfy his inner desires, first with the adrenaline of a soldier’s life, and later as a risk-taking skydiver. When he could no longer be either, he realized something was missing.
Searching for an answer, in 2005 and at the behest of one of his closest friends, Chuck began to write. Claiming he couldn’t write a decent sentence at the time, he started by penning his own experiences. After moving on to short stories for a period, he eventually began to write novel-length stories in earnest. Over time he learned to blend flawed characters with extraordinary situations, creating a hybrid of the classic spy/suspense novel. Chuck’s passion for travel—especially in Europe—helps lend genuine background and texture to his writing.
Now, every day, Chuck awakens before the dawn and writes. He claims his writing is at its best when his mind is a blank slate. Plus, by writing early, he doesn’t miss time with his wife, his daughter, or his son. They live in South Carolina.

What a Plot!
As a Researcher of the Shoah, I usually stick to holocaust memoirs. But the description wooed me and am so glad that It did. Be ready for a gripping story with unimaginable twists and turns. Though it may seem to stretch credulity a bit, I think you will enjoy this fascinating text.

This is an epic novel in my opinion. It is simply wonderful. I took my time savoring it. It is a wonderful story with an altruistic purpose. But the author spends most of the book describing the journey to discover and find the mystery behind Neil Reuter's obsession to fulfill his friend Jacob's dying request. The characters are adroitly drawn and the fight against evil and political pragmatism is forwarded by various characters especially Germans of ordinary backgrounds. There is tension throughout, a romance, a lost haunting loved one, and the ending is rewarding but a bit surprising. Loved the book.

This is a powerful story of the resilience of the human spirit during times of atrocity and how ultimately our choices define us. Neil Reuter is an American who fought during the Great War and has since been employed by the War Department to carry out assassinations of enemies of the state. He has recently lost his wife, Emilee, and his unborn child to murder. Grieving and wondering what the point is of his wayward life, he receives a letter from his best friend and war buddy, Jakey. To make matters worse, Jakey has been killed overseas. Jakey entrusts Neil with an important mission: of transporting dozens of Jewish childish and their caretakers to Palestine and safety from Europe.
It's 1938, and the Nazis are gaining power by the day, and war looms on the horizon. Neil accepts the mission, believing it will give him a purpose and something worthwhile to do, but getting to the children will prove a huge challenge. What plays out is a masterfully crafted story of survival, espionage, battle of wills, and a race against the powers that wish to stop Neil, including crazed and corrupt War Department leader Preston Lord and SS leader Anton Aying, two men who are guilty of horrific crimes.
In the midst of Neil's journey, he encounters more death, more hatred, but also romance and hope. The further I got into the story, to more the thrill of the tale swept me into its pages. I couldn't stop reading. But it wasn't only needing to know what happens next that got to me. Many of the characters came alive. I wept with them. I cheered with them. Also for them. This story may be fiction, but its basis is on fact. Not so long ago in our history, events like this occurred, and those who endured those days are to be remembered, honored, and admired...and never forgotten.
It's clear that the author has a clear grasp of history and military knowledge. What's clearer is that often during the most harrowing of circumstances, such of World War II, some of the best stories of courage and dignity shine. Chuck Driskell knows how to weave such a tale.

Amazing book
Wow. This book was long but it didn’t seem like it. Such a complex story with so many facets. The characters were great. Enough description to make you visualize the people, places and the action. I would highly recommend this book.

Really enjoyable read!
I love history and this book did not disappoint. I read this story over several days because I found myself getting so emotionally involved in it that I had to put it down and walk away from it for a few hours until I felt "normal" again. I loved the story and the character development. I found myself hating the people you were SUPPOSED to hate and loving and caring about the others. I really wish that Neil had lived so that he and Gabi could have had a wonderful life together. Regardless of what Neil said in his letter to her at the end I think they could have made it work. Hats off to the writer...this was a great book!

It takes a lot to get a 5 star rating from me but wow this book deserves it.
From the opening where we are introduced to Neil Reuter who is submerging his
grief in endless drinking. He is interrupted with news of his closest friend's death
and also the journey and cause he must undertake.
This book covers a lot of ground,people and history but does so in such a way
that you become swept up in this story that has so many unexpected turns you
stop counting after awhile.
Very very well written and researched book

Excellent!
Loved every minute! The reader is kept guessing throughout the book, which, in my case, resulted in a severe lack of sleep. I just couldn't put the book down! It's a very engaging and exciting story, set in a time of fear, cruelty, and heartache. Yet, I go away not feeling sad or angry, but inspired by acts of courage, thrilling told on every page, and the amazing resilience of the human spirit.

Rescuing Jewish children
I thought this would be a daring rescue of Jewish children from the third Reich. Nobody even knew where they were hidden until the book was a eighty percent over. The steam and body count rose, both guilty and innocent, as the main character made his way towards the hidden children.
At least all the bad guys got theirs in the end. And they all lived happily ever -- never mind.

Good plot. Poor execution!
Author took a fantastic plot line and turned mostly into a boring plodding story. Stuck with it through its most tedious portions. Character development poor. Would have made a good short story.

I think I got this book (Kindle ed.) as a freebie to introduce the author; I always like to check out writers who have a military background. I gave this book only 3 stars because I found the plot and the characters so improbable, that I got bored and continued to the end out of morbid curiosity (and my determination to finish the whole thing). The author says he got the idea for the story from an actual incident -- and from working with Holocaust survivors and historians for much of my life, I know that there were many utterly implausible, daring, and sometimes incredibly lucky escapes, but this account beggars the imagination. The heroic characters in this novel were heroic, and the villains seemed to be serious alcoholics, smokers, and sex addicts (as well as being cruel and ruthless, of course). Having said that, I see that the author is a fairly skilled writer, and I did enjoy his writing style; it's just that the plot was overly complicated, and also it always bugs me when a recent book is set in a historical period, it is difficult for the writers to really understand the mindset, and the use of language from that period. There is also the difficulty of trying to think how a German-speaker of the 1930s and 1940s would have used language, and not slip into the thing of using very recent English in that pre-World War II cultural setting. The only way around this basic writer's dilemma is to immerse oneself in literature from the period in question (and even then, there are pitfalls). In spite of all the problems with this novel, I might check out things he writes later on, because there is some talent there, and I see from other reviewers, that they thought this one was a ripping good read.

Chuck Driskell paints with words. I found myself able to picture things beautifully with his descriptions. Neil is our hero and he's a deeply flawed hero. There were a few things I found a bit difficult to accept. He was an assassin for years. As an operative, he should have been trained to do a better job of hiding vital information. Gabi showing up at the safe house should never have happened. The woman on the plane was too easily able to get information from him, as well. Other than that, I loved the book. I'm even going quickly through a second time. I'm trying to see if Gabi's husband was mentioned somewhere else in the book, other than the very end. His name sounded familiar. It would have been good if a bit more information had been given about him and how he and Gabi ended up together. The villains were properly villainous and disgusting. It was good that not all Nazis were painted with the same brush. There were people who didn't agree with the way things were going, but were victims. Neil pretty much died the way he lived. That is, if he did die. All in all, it was an exciting book and hard to put down. I'm noticing more with my second time around.

Final Mission: Zion -A World War 2 Thriller by Chuck Driskell
What an awesome read! I just couldn't put this book down. I needed to know what would happen to Neil every step of the way. I needed to know how the Jewish children had been kept hidden and where they had been all that time. This book kept me awake at night reading every word. The twists and turns in the story are all super.
The characters are well developed and we feel for all of them in one way or another. We root for the "good guys" and boo for the "bad guys". I hated to finish this book. The thrills and chills are worth your time.

I was intimidated by 69 chapters but I still read this in a few nights. This story has more going on than most books. There are variable antagonists with different agendas and plots.
The romantic involvements were a little brief and short lived. The hero had all the skills and mystery I want. It was a bit older than most.
The villains were a little too evil for my taste though many might like the book for that same reason. Maybe the best part of the book was that the scenes, occurrences and time periods seemed realistic to me.

A thoroughly engaging page-turner
Mr. Driskell’s protagonists are always real and flawed, allowing the reader to make an emotional connection. His opposing antagonists are deviously despicable, well-deserving of their inevitable comeuppance. In Final Mission: Zion, Driskell’s gifted storytelling draws you into a finely crafted story and keeps you there through multiple narratives, plot twists, and pulse quickening action sequences.

This is a must read book
This is not just another holocaust story. The plot intertwines the usual themes of the second world war with the life of an American native from the Shoshone tribe. There is something for everyone here espionage, romance,murder and all the ingredients of a great thriller mixed with a story that could be part of history and could have easily been based on real events but just happened to be the imagination of a great author.

Express Train of a Story
I downloaded and started to read this novel, knowing nothing about the author but intrigued by the premise. Almost from the first page, I found myself on a speeding train from which I dared not let go. The story was straightforward yet with many complications and unexpected twists. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, and look forward to reading Chuck Driskell 's other novels. This is a must for fans of Lee Child and Nelson DeMille!

Neil Reuter, has led an unconventional life. His unique talents have made him an asset to the United States government. In 1938 a series of events render his influence a detriment. Learning that his best friend has died trying to save hundreds of Jewish children, Neil is tasked with finishing the job. The journey is fraught with danger and the reader is treated to a page-turner, that makes this a book that might need to be read in one setting.

I think I got this for free as a new book promo. This book had a lot going on. It's a man's book written by a man. It's well-written and has decent character development but the story is so cheesy that involves a handsome and mysterious assasin. I had to skip several crude situations and it was graphically violent in some parts but hardly any swearing. Honestly, I only finished it because I felt like I had read too far to stop.

Exciting read
I had trouble putting down this book. Every time I did I found myself reflecting on where it was going to go next. I got involved with the characters, which indicates a good read for me. I also really like travel and different locales, and this really fit the bill. I would have given it 5 stars if there weren’t 2 or 3 “how could you be that stupid” moments near the end. But, all in all, it did grab me.

Captivating and memorable!
What a moving novel! This book captures you from page one and keeps a hold on until the surprising ending, and I think it will stay with me for quite a while yet to come. This story is one of sacrifice and of greed, of love and of hate, of peace and of war, and one with tears of joy and tears of grief. The characters are strong people who appreciate life but aren't afraid of death. This is a wonderful book that you will enjoy reading.

Second Chances
Driskell's Final Mission: Zion has it all - action, suspense, drama, revenge, humanity, & love set in pre WW 2. It is the story of a defeated man who felt as if he had lost it all only to rise like a phoenix to carry out his best friend's last request. This is a book that should be read more than once. I highly recommend Final Mission: Zion. Once I started reading it I could not put it down.

Unique, Detailed and Really Fun Historical Fiction
Really original and entertaining story. Author does a great job of painting a realistic picture. Lots of interesting plot twists. So fun to be in 1938. Excellent villains. It definitely starts a little slow and has a few hiccups but overall I really enjoyed this book, definitely recommend and look forward to reading more from Chuck Driskell.

Really Well-written, Interesting Story
I really enjoyed Final Mission: Zion. It was a lengthy read, with lots of characters, but Chuck Driskell introduced them so well, gave them such distinctive names, that I was never confused. This book gave a wonderful perspective of World War II, and focused on how a wide variety of people's lives were affected by the war.
The writing, pacing, and characters made this a really enjoyable read. You won't be disappointed!

This story is a story of revenge, atonement, and ultimately redemption. It is a story of people who risked everything to save innocent children from Nazi extermination, simply because they were Jewish. It is a story of good, brave Germans, which have been forgotten in the aftermath of Nazi brutality. Lastly, it is a must read for fans of WWll fiction.

Exceptional characters bring life to the history prewar WIl
The viewpoint of people living in USA,Germany and its' borderlands towards Hitler, his policies and his Final Solution to 'the Jewish Problem ' is explored. While this sounds dry the novel reads as a thriller you will lose sleep to finish.

An exciting pre 2nd WW action packed suspenseful thriller.
This is a marvelous read that puts you in the middle of an American 's struggle to save many lives from Nazi terror. Excellent character development enhances the drama and suspense. There is more minutiae than I care for but it can be skimmed and nothing is lost from this page turner.

Great Pre WWII Story
Hero of story goes to Germany via a very complex journey to rescue Jewish children in hiding from the Nazi's. He also wants to find out who killed his boyhood Jewish friend Jacob Berman (Jakey). Very involved story that I had trouble putting down@ night. Interested in reading some more of author's books!
