My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
(Disclaimer: I received a free digital copy of this work from Black Coffee Book Tours for review purposes. All opinions in this review are my own and are honest and unbiased.)
Realistic and riveting, The Numbers Game is perfect for fans of historical fiction set in World War II, especially those who have a passion for mathematics and World War II aircraft. Cynical and weary, Maurice wasn't the stereotypical RAF pilot. I liked that because it made him more original and even more relatable in certain ways. Maurice's predictions kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the read. I was worried the mathematical focus of the story would mellow down my experience, but that wasn't quite the case. I loved the way the numbers almost became antagonists in their own right. If you’re looking for a short, hair-raising World War II tale, you should check out The Numbers Game by Miles Watson.
Trigger Warning: This work includes some disturbing material, including violence.
