Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fascinating and just plain hard to put down!
Review: If this book were fiction, it would be a great read, but what makes it even better is that it is based in fact. I love strong women characters. Erika Lehmann must have been an amazing person (too bad she wasn't on our side). Whicker's writing just sweeps you along and I can't even fathom the amount of research he put into this book. Can't wait for his next one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: World War II Spy Thriller
Review: Invitation to Valhalla is a great novel with suspense building to the very end. Great for those interested in historical fictions, suspense novels, and/or World War II. Whicker's work demonstrates years of research on the various agencies in the Third Reich and the ship-building industry in the mid-west during World War II. A must-read!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great historical/suspense novel!
Review: Invitation to Valhalla is a rare perspective of the Nazi spy effort. Whicker develops the female lead to such a degree that the reader cheers for the enemy. It is hard to distinguish where fact leaves off and fiction begins!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First Time Novelist Hits Pay Dirt
Review: Invitation to Valhalla is a rare perspective of the Nazi spy effort. Whicker develops the female lead to such a degree that the reader cheers for the enemy. It is hard to distinguish where fact leaves off and fiction begins!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great historical/suspense novel!
Review: Invitation to Valhalla is an awesome blend of historical fact and enthralling fiction. From an in-depth view of Nazi Germany from a woman spy's point of view, to the heartland of America and an unlikely location for a wartime shipyard, Whicker sets the pace and keeps your attention. The historical detail and research are especially commendable. I work in a library--and we can't keep this book on our shelves!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who is this guy?
Review: Invitation to Valhalla is the best book I've read in years. I was truly sad that I had finished it. For three evenings I was totally taken away and I so looked forward to getting home after work so I could read more. Who is this author? The author bio information says he is a football coach? Unbelievable.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What happened to Erika Lehmann?
Review: Is there a sequel to this book? Seems to be setting us up for one. What happened to the Lehmanns? -- Erika and her Father. Does anyone know?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A terrific book by any standard.
Review: Mike Whicker is a high school teacher and football coach. "Invitation to Valhalla" is apparently his first published book. Knowing those two things, one would be excused for having tempered expectations before digging into this WWII thriller of 'historical fiction'. And one would soon be pleasantly surprised.

Read this book. It works on so many different levels.

Summary: A fascinating tale of Nazi's in America during WWII
Review: Mike Whicker's gripping tale of Nazi spies in the Midwest during WWII is a great read. Whether or not you're from Evansville, or the Midwest, the story is a must read. You don't have to be a Clancy reader or a follower of Dirk Pitt to read this one. And don't let 500 pages deter you from reading this one-it reads quick and you'll be turning pages faster than you think!
