John was pissed that he died on the beach at Normandy.
It was June 6, 1944 and to say Private John Burton was unhappy would be an understatement. Even though he had heard General Eisenhower's speech on the radio, he really wanted to be elsewhere. Not that he wasn't a red-blooded American and not that he didn't grasp the importance of the mission. It's just that he was convinced there was a German bullet with his name on it. It was a feeling he just couldn't shake. All the trouble his parents went through to raise him, scolding him into good behavior, getting onto him to make good grades. And then all the money and effort Uncle Sam went through to prepare and train him for this exact moment, everything his life was moving towards would come to a wasted end on a beach in France he'd never heard of. He just knew it. And he was mightily annoyed about it.
Being annoyed couldn't describe how John felt when not even ten feet from the landing craft onto the sands of the beach before being cut down by German machine gun fire. Talk about being angry as he fell onto the sand...

One thing
Kept me from reading this when posted. The illustration. It still does.
“When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus.” - Turkish Proverb
Cover
The old saying "You can't judge a book by its cover" holds true for this book. I think the cover was chosen more to express an attitude as the heroine is actually a beautiful, young teen girl with long flowing hair who can wield magic. Please go ahead and give the book a try.

The synopsis reminds me...
The synopsis reminds me of Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson. If you haven't read it, you should, if you can find a copy. Except, of course, in that story the protagonist didn't change sex.
