The Last Letter – A Soldier's Wish

A World War II Historical Novel

By: Barry Cole, EK-2 Publishing

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Safe from the horrors of war, a German soldier makes the ultimate sacrifice.

After surviving the hell of Stalingrad and two brutal years on the Eastern Front, Sergeant Franz Mayer returns home—not as a hero, but as a deserter. Not by choice, but by circumstance. With the SS hunting men like him and the Reich collapsing, his only chance is to vanish. Fate intervenes when an elderly couple—grieving the son the war stole from them—risk everything to hide him and help him reach his family. But safety doesn’t last. When a convoy of army lorries rolls through the village, Franz is forced to face the one enemy he can’t outrun: his conscience. If he leaves again, he may never come back—so he writes a final letter, a message meant to be posted only if he falls, one that could bind two shattered families together and give them strength in a Germany torn apart by war.

This is a gripping work of historical fiction about duty, guilt, and the last fragile traces of humanity in a world burning down.
