Memories Dreams and The Grid

Book excerpt: Our story continues with The Brothers and The Sporty Boys enlisted in the Royal Canadian Army with Major Waltz as their commander. It’s WWII. The lads are itching for action. Waltz warns them to be careful what they wish for as the Dieppe Raid - Grid’s dream that never really starts - is about to become Mike’s nightmare. Follow Waltz and his Squad as they take part in The Italy Campaigns, and cross paths with Leopold Schultz. Watch Hank’s face redden with continuing reports from The Grid of the ongoing slaughter of Jews - the very reason he enlisted to begin with. His rage peaks as Waltz and the Squad participate in the liberation of towns and villages across Holland, Belgium and Germany. And then the horrors of The Holocaust - the true horrors - are revealed to Waltz and The Sporty Boys on April 15th 1945 with the liberation of Bergen-Belson concentration camp. Hank, the bully-tamer’s resolve is cast. Meanwhile Mike is back in Montreal enduring the effects of being unable to forget while his Brother plows through his list of ‘runaway’ Nazis. Rosie nurtures her broken husband while Evelyn waits for hers to come home - for good. But Israel is fighting for recognition as an independent Jewish State.
