David Toland, a decorated Korean War veteran, has done all he can to leave a life of combat behind. Now Director of Preservation for the Library of Congress's National Film Archive, Toland has made it his mission to preserve what he loves most: the Golden Age of American cinema, moving pictures full of romance, adventure and American Dream. That is, until CIA Agent Lana Welles drops in unannounced with a film canister, smuggled over the Berlin Wall at great cost, that may prove WWII never really ended--it just went underground.
About the Author: Miles Millar & Alfred Gough are prolific screenwriters. They met at USC film school and sold their first script in their last semester. The duo has been writing together ever since. Among their many credits is the iconic television series Smallville, which they created, the acclaimed AMC show Into the Badlands, as well as the classic Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson film Shanghai Noon and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2. Double Exposure is their first novel.
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
My Review: When this showed up in the mail I was like ok this looks interesting. But when I found out it was from the writers of Smallville I was like YES YES YES!! Although there is no supernatural aspects in this one as well as no Superman this war story about how Hitlar could still be alive was spot on with the thriller aspects of this story. I could not put it down. This was a fast paced story that if you love war books and alternative history check this one out!!
"DOUBLE EXPOSURE should come with a warning label: Once you start reading you'll do nothing else until it ends. It's everything anyone could want in a thriller--a protagonist fleeing his heroic past, a female CIA agent with inexplicable skills, a desperate globe-spanning chase, and the ultimate villain. More, please!"―Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of JUDGMENT
"Gough and Millar bring their world-class storytelling chops to a rocket of a first novel. With a premise worthy of Hitchcock, DOUBLE EXPOSURE is a globetrotting adventure, a what-if pretzel of a historical tale, and a twisty piece of fine suspense. Hang on tight or this one will buck you right off the ride."―Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series
