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.

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*
Jacob manages his escape but almost perishes in the process. Later on after the war he hunts down Nazis, and along the way he falls in love. Will the apple of his eye tame his unquenchable thirst for vengeance? Or will she push him further into his seemingly endless journey? How long will Jacob be able to evade the authorities? A random death here and there, no one bats an eye, but as the bodies pile up, questions get raised.
The author, Vezine, does an absolutely wonderful of keeping this book fast-paced and interesting. He skillful crafts a possible setting in a post-war America where Nazis try to hide after fleeing Germany, but also with an American home grown Nazi movement. The book doesn’t come off as a cliche or overly, as Vezine is able to pen people’s motives in a concise way that somehow manages to explore the complexity of people, without it being a simple, “Let’s just go out and kill all the Nazis.”
The book is a bit short, I was able to read it cover to cover in about 2-3 hours, but I tell you it’s never a dull moment on the pages. I highly recommend this book to any fan of thrillers, especially ones that highlight the complexity of human emotions. I look forward to reading part 2!
