Jim K. (papertiger) - reviewed on 2/10/2018 + 42 more book reviews

An easier and faster read than my first exposure to Alan Durst, his debut book, Night Soldiers. I enjoyed the rich history of the first book but struggled to keep the variety of characters, locations, and subplots straight. This one was much more linear and focused and made me want to read more of this series.

Primarily sited in Western Europe, it was easier to relate to cities I have visited, adding to my enjoyment. Since the central character is an American film star, albeit an emigre from Europe, it seemed more familiar. The story was credible, yet involved, and demonstrated the intricacies of propaganda and political intrigue as practiced by the Nazis in the early stages of their rape of Europe...things not so often visited in the typical WWII spy stories. I recommend it to those who enjoy historical fiction as well as a good spy story!
