War of the Damned (Relic Hunters) by Martin Ferguson – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur

War of the Damned by Martin Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book starts off with Adam Hunter with his friend Duncan getting up to their old tricks in Oxfordshire and at the same time giving someone their comeuppance for short changing people and other illegal actions. Using some of the teams technology in tandem with a load of fireworks, the plan comes together and they manage to escape from the guilty parties security as well as the police, as some hidden knowledge and confessions are live streamed to the public domain. A good deed completed for a friend in a not so legal manner.

Next we join Adam back at the museum, where they have been called in, although getting around isn’t easy while the repairs are still ongoing after the last attack. Adam goes to find his brother in his sanctuary within the walls and they discuss their mum, Matt’s injury and pregnant girlfriend, where he is waylaid to go to another area of the museum to find Emma and tell her about the meeting. When Charles enters the room, all of the team are happy to see him up and about, although he isn’t at full strength, he is happy to see them too. He explains that he has to go to an inquiry into the events which had just come to pass, but that they had to go on another mission for the museum. This one involves going up to Scotland, to go and investigate a U Boat which a dredging team have found, when they get there, they find it in pristine condition, but also the appearance of a battle being fought inside, this is as well as a mysterious relic and a team of mercenaries.

This relic is about to lead them on a chase through Europe to uncover a hidden past and all the while trying to outwit and track the mercenaries on their tails, but there are going to be more than mercenaries to contend with, as ghosts of both Europe and the teams pasts are going to become real and present concerns. These ghosts are unrelenting and hidden in the darkest tunnels, beneath a seemingly inconspicuous area of Germany, the trail they are following is one of the most well known mysteries of the Second World War and they will need all their skills and teamwork to follow it until the end, but whether that will be one of light or darkness, only the damned know.

This next installment of the Relic Hunters story is just as gripping and full of fast paced action as the last ones and definitely not one to miss.
