Particularly Dangerous Work
Part 2 - Lost At Sea

Part 2 of this trilogy opens at the beginning of 1941. Spanish diplomat Vizconde Rodrigo Mendoza has just been recalled from his post in Brazil to assume a new position as chief of staff at the Spanish Embassy in Berlin. In part 1 of this trilogy Rodrigo’s world was turned upside down when German Abwehr agents, using their knowledge of his sexual orientation, blackmailed him into conducting espionage on behalf of the Third Reich. Rodrigo broke free from their manipulation and used the skills they taught him against the Nazi regime.

In Part 2, Lost at Sea, Rodrigo returns to Berlin where he has a golden opportunity to inflict the most damage on the German war machine and help turn the war to favor the Allied cause. Rodrigo finds himself in constant danger. To survive he must juggle romance, sexual relationships, cunning wit, and physical agility. This part of the trilogy ends at the beginning of 1943, just when German invincibility is beginning to crumble.

This wonderful 2nd book in the series picks up where the first left off and continues the dramatic story. I'm looking forward to book three to find out how it all ends.

Reading Particularly Dangerous Work - Part Two - Lost at Sea, by G. Russell Overton was, even though it’s filled with action and suspense a very calming read. It’s beautifully written and as so much honesty. A tasteful and respectful look at the lives of not only gay men during the World War II era, but what it was like to endure in those circumstances. While filled with espionage, spies, adventure and thrills, there is also a feel for family and human relationships. Book 2 begins where Book 1 left off in 1941 Berlin. Once again there are many travel
escapades from Germany to Spain and other countries throughout the European Block.
This book is filled with atmosphere and beautifully descriptive narratives. Imagine if you will traveling on a train between Berlin and Madrid in 1941 - 1943 (the time period of this part of the series). You don’t really have to do much imagining on your own, because
the author does that for us in a most skillful and beautiful way. This is a story of life and all that entails in order to survive in not only bad situations, but in what seem like at time impossible situations. I was touched on many levels while reading this book, from tears to laughter - from anger to glee. The research done for this book is off the hook crazy and very accurate. I loved Book 1, I fell in love with Book 2, and I’m anxious and hopeful that there is more of the story to tell about these wonderful characters. A truly beautiful

bit of storytelling...highly recommend. Thank you Russ for this beautiful story.
