This book had a decent amount of potential. The idea behind it is that a substance is invented which allows the recipient the ability to enhance their strengths a significant amount. The setting is the waning days of World War II in Germany where a German scientist has developed a substance that can create these enhancements.

The Narration is good. He reads with a very heavy German accent (for the German characters only). I just wish the story would hold up to scientific scrutiny. The real downfall for me was when one character gets the drug, his eyesight is enhanced greatly. Unfortunately, what is described in the book is not physically possible. This person supposedly can see over 100 miles away and describes in detail what he sees. Unfortunately, since the earth is round, it is not possible to see that far away. The person is 30 feet up high in a tree. From 30 feet up, it is only possible to see approximately 20 miles to the horizon. Considering that this story is all about scientific possibilities, this inconsistency kind-of ruins the book for me.

I requested this book from the author and agreed to review it when finished.
