Two years of Nazi occupation, aided by the collusion of those loyal to the illegitimate government of Vidkun Quisling, a German sympathizer, has divided her country and brought untold suffering and strife. But the arrival of Gerntz, a Nazi soldier, will change everything. Her spy ring compromised, Norill will soon find that the war has truly come home as the line between friend, foe, and family blends and shatters them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Violence of Reason explores the complexity of loyalty and relationships in a time of war. In order to survive, Norill must try to solve a thrilling mystery that can only bring about the downfall of those she loves and that will, perhaps, destroy herself. Betrayed, alone, and on the run, Norill must challenge all she has ever known as powerful forces converge and summon her and her nation toward either a dark fate or freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<html>\n<div

set in Nazi-occupied Norway. Aside from her job at a bookstore, Norill is an amateur pianist, courier, and spy for Norway&#8217;s underground resistance against the Nazi regime. But when her friends and family members inexplicably start disappearing around her, Norill&#8217;s whole world collapses, and she finds herself detained and tortured by the Germans for information. Unsure of who to trust, Norill&#8217;s only hope lies in a German double agent with mysterious motives. Meanwhile, the Nazis forcefully acquire her family farm, but she somehow manages to find a way to escape with an Allied soldier. But not everything is as it seems, as Norill will soon find herself in a confrontation with someone familiar. Will she meet the same fate as her friends and family?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Violence of Reason is a moving tale that sheds light on those men and women who risked their lives and those of their families on behalf of dignity and right in their fight against the Nazis. Pete Planisek has crafted a relentlessly brutal narrative that doesn&#8217;t shy away from showcasing the atrocities committed by the Nazis during their heyday in a realistic manner that makes it all the more impactful. The plot is full of shocking reveals, twists, and turns that you never see coming. As a reader, you can&#8217;t help but feel for the plight of Norill, whose courage and will to fight amid terrifying situations make her easy to root for. I was honestly surprised by the ending and thoroughly enjoyed the book overall. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5\/5 Stars<\/strong><br>Review by Pikasho Deka, Readers&#8217; Favorite<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/readersfavorite-public\/images\/5star-flat-web.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Links about Norwegian history during World War II<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeinnorway.net\/norway-world-war-two\/\" target=\"_blank\">Norway in World War II &#8211; Life in Norway<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.historylearningsite.co.uk\/world-war-two\/resistance-movements\/the-norwegian-resistance\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Norwegian resistance<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/crosssection.gns.wisc.edu\/2019\/11\/11\/norwegian-civil-resistance-of-the-nazi-occupation-1940-1945\/\" target=\"_blank\">Norwegian resistance to the Nazi occupation<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.visitnorway.com\/listings\/heavy-water-war-the-story\/1474\/\" target=\"_blank\">Heavy Water War &#8211; The Story<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/5885434\/nazi-norway-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nazi-Occupied Norway Offers a Glimpse of What Hitler Wanted for the Entire World<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Useful Links\/Book Club Resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enceladusliterary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/TVOR_bookclub_activities.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Book club questions and activities<\/a> (pdf)<br>Supplemental material: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enceladusliterary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/literary_criticism.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Types of literary criticism<\/a> (pdf)<br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.columbusmakesart.com\/artist\/6771-pete-planisek\" target=\"_blank\">Columbus Makes Art &#8211; Pete Planisek profile<\/a><br>Check out the latest T-shirt designs, mugs, and more in the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/enceladus-literary.myspreadshop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Enceladus Merchandise Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780985098230\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/files\/indiebound\/images\/banners\/indiesRed_391x72_10-26-15.png\" alt=\"Support Independent Bookstores - Visit IndieBound.org\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display:flex; align-items:center;\">\n  <div style=\"display:flex; align-items:center; width:150px; height:150px; margin-right:20px;\">\n    <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enceladusliterary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/indieohio.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto;\"><\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div style=\"display:flex; align-items:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/library.biblioboard.com\/content\/3fb0b193-55e7-4d5e-908b-b39c2b184b09\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Available in the Indie Ohio collection on BiblioBoard Library<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.enceladusliterary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_6081-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enceladusliterary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_6081-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Pete Planisek author photo\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Pete Planisek lives in Columbus, OH, where he teaches English, runs Enceladus Literary LLC, and is co-host of an entertainment podcast called Hindsight is 20-20.
