Chrenkoff: The Book
Aussie Dave | Jul 06, 2006 | 4 comments
Former blogger and Israellycool friend Arthur Chrenkoff has written a book. And it sounds like a real corker. Here’s the description at Amazon:
Martin is an ordinary Australian twenty-something, whose comfortable, well-ordered life gets turned on its head when he starts seeing and hearing things each night at the nearby semi-deserted railway yards: mysterious lights, people who disappear when followed, steam trains that aren’t supposed to be there. Taken to the edge of sanity, Martin eventually learns that he is to ride the night trains every night back to wartime Europe to rescue Jews and help the resistance. But before the war ends, Martin will have to confront his SS nemesis, save the woman he loves, and face a terrible secret from the past that can destroy him before he can accomplish his mission. This is an extraordinarily original work, mixing a modern-day setting with alternate reality and time travel; it’s both a supernatural war thriller and a fascinating psychological profile of what happens when your life gets turned upside down by events outside your control. Imagine Steven King meets Robert Ludlum on a night train crossing in Nazi-occupied Europe. A superbly original first novel!

If it grabs your fancy, you can order it here. I know I would, had Arthur not offered to ship me a free copy!

I love your site but why have you not wrote anything about the American Aliyah plane that came today? This is a very positive and encouraging event, and didn’t get much coverage anywhere because of the Gaza operation.
Because I don’t write about everything (I don’t have the time). I have chosen to focus on the Gaza operation for now. And I wanted to plug my friend’s book. There are enough J-blogs out there that someone is covering the Aliyah plane.
Wow, that is really cool! I really enjoyed reading his stuff – seems so long ago… Jealous you got a free copy, though happy to support him
