<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the WBZ Book Club. I'm Jordan Rich. For

2
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:04.639
<v Speaker 1>those of you who have seen the movie Conclave, you

3
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>might know it's based on a novel by Robert Harris,

4
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>who also wrote a terrific book called Fatherland many years ago,

5
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>while in twenty twenty he published V two, and this

6
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>is a World War thriller as well, based on the

7
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Nazis hopes to turn the war their way with the

8
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>introduction of the deadly V two rockets that rained down

9
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>on London. Story bounces back and forth between the German

10
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 1>scientists and military personnel launching the weapons, and a young

11
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 1>female intelligence analyst working for the British Army who's trying

12
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 1>to pinpoint the origin of the rockets so the RAF

13
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>can take them out. A blend of fact and fiction

14
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>with characters such as Germany's rocket engineer Werner von Braun,

15
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>who you may recall, helped lead America into space after

16
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the war. This is a typical Robert Harris thriller, with

17
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>incredible detail of the technology and the destructive power of

18
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the V two rockets terrorizing our allies. A World War

19
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>two novel. I recommend V two by Robert Harris, and

20
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.759
