Hunted by Fate by Adam Opaciuch (Book Review #1991)

*Hunted by Fate* by Adam Opaciuch weaves a gripping narrative that spans decades and continents. The story begins in 1973 with the brutal murder of a New York City restaurateur, which lands David Archer in a psychiatric hospital under dubious circumstances. Pamela Gordon, a Legal Aid attorney, is convinced that Archer may not belong there and starts investigating his case. Her quest leads her to an astonishing, thirty-year-old tale from World War II-era Poland, where the Polish Resistance embarks on a dangerous mission to capture a Nazi scientist.

As the story shifts between the present and the past, we follow Jan Novak, a Polish Commando, and Ana Bartek, a fierce Resistance fighter, who must navigate the murky waters of trust and betrayal in the shadow of war. Their bond grows in the face of relentless danger, pursued by a cruel SS Colonel. Meanwhile, David Archer’s link to this wartime mission is both improbable and profound. The connection between these two timelines is a race against time, with Pamela Gordon deciding whether to accept the unbelievable truth that may hold the key to Archer’s fate.

Opaciuch expertly blends historical intrigue with psychological tension, creating a fast-paced, heart-pounding tale of fate, survival, and the power of belief. The book explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the reverberating effects of history, drawing readers into a world where the past and present collide in unexpected and shocking ways.
