The Lebensborn Alliance
Lebensborn, Book 2

by Joyce Davis

Action-Packed and Fast-Paced Historical Fiction

The Lebensborn Alliance is a continuation of the lives and adventures of Sergeant Kapp Johnson, Adok, and Hans (from Book 1).  Joyce Davis, the author, deftly weaves the plot around historic moments focusing on civil rights, Martin Luther King, Jr., and incidents of racial inequity.  As listeners, we are also given the opportunity to watch Adok mature as well as Hans.

Joining together with a couple of Johnson’s war buddies, Hans and Johnson must find Adok who is lost during a racial incident in Alabama.  To further complicate matters, there are more instances that allow the spreading of the serum to others making it more difficult to keep their immortality and their enhanced abilities secret leaving them vulnerable.

This is a fairly fast-paced book with lots of action and gut-wrenching moments that keep the listener on the edge of their chair.  Davis is a skilled storyteller with an amazing ability to combine historical facts with fiction and create a riveting plot.  Her dialog is solid and relevant to the time period.  Her character development is detailed and meticulous.  She is accomplished at executing plot twists at just the right moment with intriguing results! 

Othello Lofton, the narrator, provides a smooth performance.  His performance ensures each character with a different voice and is consistent. I enjoyed his narration. 

The audio production and quality of this audiobook were good.  The only issue I had was with the random sound effects that take away from the book and sometimes makes it more of a distraction than a benefit – this is something I struggle with on all books with sound effects.    

I enjoy this series and look forward to more of Joyce Davis’s work!
