They tried to take the only thing he had left, now he's going to take everything they have.

Jacob Mitzak escaped from the Auschwitz concentration camp at fifteen, and soon became famous to every Nazi war criminal in the world as The Hammer of Israel.

Most people decide to let the authorities take care of the criminals. Most people decide to let things go. Most people decide to get on with their lives.

Jacob Mitzak isn't most people.

in 1950's New York Jacob is pulled from his routine Nazi hunting duties by a ghost from his past. Former SS commander August Grosz is in New York City, but the obvious question is why?

There had been rumors of a new Fourth Reich arising from the ashes of the shattered German-American Bund, and now Jacob knows these are more than just rumors. With the help of Mossad spymaster Saul Greenbaum and Jane Sutcliffe he will become the only man standing in the way of a new Nazi uprising.

I loved that it was historical. The author got me at page one and I didn't let go till I finished it. The characters were well developed, the anticipation of what happens next. I hate writing review s. I am not good at it. But I can't not rate this book high enough. It did have some editing to do, but even that can't make me give it less than five stars.

Awesome series.

The Jericho Black Universe: The following well written books are all part of this universe and take place in a timeline from 1910 until 1980, as of January, 2019. The third book Retribution starts in 1980. All the storylines are carried throughout this series of books. The storylines are intriguing, suspense filled and so mesmerizing it's hard for the reader to put down the book(s). I chain read all but Among Wolves, which I had already read and made me interested in reading the rest of the story. There are plenty of twists, kinks and surprises in all the additions. The pace is steady and fast, no bogging down with trivial fillers. The emotions range across the scale and even the harden reader goes "Oh my gosh." occasionally. Nothing graphic, you just forget how depraved the human race is, especially in the pack (or herd) formation.

The characters are interesting and believable, and their dialog realistic. The reader is drawn into the stories and the author's descriptions are clear and interesting. Most of the characters appear in all the stories or are mentioned for themselves or in past events. The characters run the gamut on personalities, frailties, strengths and levels of depravity and goodness. Nothing is graphic but everything is clear so the reader can make the violence as graphic as their imagination needs. History is a rich character that adds depth and understanding to the stories, which begins during WWII. I know a lot of this history and found the author did a great job with his historical presentation. Mr. Vezina did research his subject matter. After Among Wolves, the editing was much better with very few errors outside of comma usage, or lack of, in the others that I read. In a couple of the books, Mr. Vezina offers a PDF timeline for the JBU. There are more books than what I have read so far. Best to read in sequential order; keeps the excitement flowing and no spoilers that way. I purchased all but The Lion of Israel.

Never Forget, Prequel - The beginning of the JBU. Starting in Auschwitz, this introduction of Aleks Rosen, Saul Greenbaum and Jacob Mitzak. Along with some the rest of the characters that will come and go throughout the series. There are a couple of twists and surprises, along with an interesting showing of foresight, determination and survival through a horrible time and place in world history. 5*

The Hammer of Israel - This is my second favorite of this series; Among Wolves remains number one with me. Mainly about Jacob Mitzak and Jane Sutcliff and their metamorphoses from their experiences from WWII until 1952. There is a lot of violence, none graphic, but what their characters, their determination and their instincts for survival place upon them and the jobs they are able to perform. There's a special lady that will surprise the reader when she's spotlighted. 5*

Among Wolves #1 - This is my first read by this author and I liked the story. The well thought out story line follows a young boy through his discoveries about his grandfather's Nazi SS past and the causes of his mother's hatred. He's able to make his own decisions about the right way of life for him, earning him his grandfather's respect and costing him his mother's love. The young man contributes to the war of hatred after learning a secret about his father. Along his journey, he is supported by many surprising people. The characters are interesting and believable, and their dialog realistic. The reader is drawn into the story and the author's descriptions are clear and interesting. History is a rich character that adds depth and understanding to the story, which begins after WWII. I know a lot of this history and found the author did a great job with his historical presentation. Mr. Vezina did research his subject matter. This well written story could have been a five star if the author had only edited the story. Missing commas, lower case proper nouns and titles, inconsistencies and various other defects distracted the reader because there were so many. Many affected the meaning of the sentences. 4*
UPDATE: Among Wolves is updated and changed somewhat according to the author. The update hasn't made it to Amazon as of 01/30/2019.

Education #2 - A cliffhanger that continues in book #3 Retribution. The story is set in 1979 and picks up with Will and Susan and their future together. Playing heavy parts in this story are many of the characters from Never Forget and Among Wolves. Fast paced and filled with a few twists for everyone. Needs better editing. 5*

Danger Close (Btwn #2 & #3) - A short story set in 1979. More on Will Kessler and his transition from his past to his future. His life changes with the murders of his mother and grandfather and the shooting of his girlfriend. He does a job that gets him a shock of a lifetime and changes his future. 5*

The Lion of Israel (Btwn #2 & #3) - This short story introduction is for Ariel Sutcliffe and her contributions to the JBU. Her story, her strengths and her weaknesses, along with some of her jobs and where she is heading. A good, but flawed character that is tested with a special job. This book I found on Booksprout. 5*

Let me begin by acknowledging my lack of in-depth history lessons in this department. I was not familiar with a lot of the words here when I started reading this book, like SS man. But I was happy that I stumbled upon this book because I learned a great deal through the story of Jacob, a boy who was trained to be a killer, got snatched, and was determined to revenge those who did terrible things to Jewish people during World War II. The story starts with 1944 before the War ended and spans into after the War in the U.S. around the 50s. Jacob grew up without a father who was said to have left him and his mom earlier on in his life. He met Saul, a perhaps fatherly figure to him, who took him to Poland and trained him because Saul saw something worth in Jacob. Something so different that drew people around him. Jacob also met August whom he saw again in New York City half a decade later. However, he was taken away by the Nazis and lost contact with both men but somehow managed to stay alive. Then the War ended but it was just the beginning of Jacob's revenge. He found August in Upper West Side and asked him to get underground in those Nazi groups and reveal names for him. The story is written more or less chronologically with flashbacks to tell you what happened in the past. So you won't know right away what is going on until pages later. I think it's quite entertaining to read in this way and it really plays with your curiosity.

A Must Read Thriller

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is my second book that I’ve checked out by Jordan Vezina and I can say that I am not disappointed. I first read one of his Jericho Black thrillers, so I decided to check out Jacob Mitzak as well. Let me tell you. Vezina has a real talent for getting complex story lines on the page. It’s almost like once I start reading, I don’t want to stop. I guess I shouldn’t be thanking him for making me miss my bed time though.

Vezina does an amazing job of making his thrillers very topical. That way it does feel like another cookie cutter story or Hollywood action movie. That, with all the historical elements he adds to his stories, makes this one a must read. Even though this book is set in the 50’s, it feels like this could be happening today in the current political climate we’re living in.

Jacob Mitzak is a complex character with a compelling story. Vezina really captures him and his motives for his actions. It’s that which I think sets this book apart. It’s not a simple story of Nazi’s being bad just because they’re Nazi’s. We know they’re bad. But Mitzak’s life gives this story a depth that keeps the pages turning.

I think some people might think about passing on this book because of it being so based in history and they think they have to know a lot about it to understand it. This is definitely not the case. Vezina writes the history to where you understand what’s happened, but it doesn’t feel like you’re reading a history textbook.

Highly recommend.

Although I knew going in that this was a novella even though I am not a big fan of novellas I had to download this so that I could find out the story behind the Hammer, although I was not disappointed in the story line, I am always disappointed in the shortness of the book. I feel that if it is worth the effort to develop a new character then it is worth the effort to do them justice with a full book but, I appreciate there are times when a novella is justified but, I look forward to the next FULL Hammer of Israel Book. Still highly recommended.

He escaped from a low camp and then he tracked war criminals. He worked hard but now there could be another uprising of them on US soil. Can he stop it before it overtakes the country? Will he be able to do it? See if he can stop it

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
