The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles #1
The Day of Destiny
Verdun, 1916. Young Indiana Jones enlists as a courier in the Belgian Army. He witnesses at first-hand the many horrors of modern warfare: the bravery and the squalid trenches on the infantry men, the outdated tactics and the rich lifestyle of the officers. When Indy has to carry orders which will certainly mean many unnecessary deaths, he is faced with a stark choice. Does he disobey an order and face the consequences? Or does he deliver the order and watch his comrades die? For Indy, this is his Day of Destiny.

Plus: Sehr gute Beschreibungen. Eine auktoriale Erzählweise, die nicht nervt. Geschichtlicher Hintergrund wird erklärt.
Minus: viel Telling, wenig Showing. Kaum Einblicke ins Innenleben der Figuren. Geschichtlicher Hintergrund kommt mit dem Holzhammer.
