The second Great War is OK, especially for the $0.99 price. I'll admit that I stopped reading it a couple of times, but came back a week or two later. I finally finished it on the third go and only gave it one read.The scenario is the Central Powers (Germany, Austria & Turkey) won the Great War (WW I). War breaks out again in 1939 between the same countries, Germany, Austria & Turkey on one side and Britain & Italy on the other. The Americans are dragged into the war due to the sinking of a US Ship.Th overall plot line of the story follows the romance of an American Army nurse and an American infantry captain. It all ends well, if you were wondering.At the beginning of each chapter there is a long italicized section that is a flashback to World War I. This section tends to be about fathers or relatives of the present characters, or perhaps the same character who is a young man in the earlier war. Maybe I'm slow, but I didn't get what these sections added to the story.The book doesn't flow well or hold together. The characters are well done, but the story is choppy-at least it seemed that way to me. It didn't reach our and grab be like some other authors' books do. It's not bad, but I'm not waiting for the second installment.
