What a great story… simple maybe but very engaging and entertaining. I really enjoyed it.

Brilliant story & well read

I found it very disconcerting to hear different BRITISH accents for different GERMAN characters. The story takes place almost totally in Germany. The narrator was very good for an English book. I would have enjoyed the characters to have had German accents.
I loved the book!

BRITISH NARRATOR.

I find Ben's historic novels fascinating. This is well written as well as a great story (i was born in Germany but move away 30 years ago and therefore I could be a bit biased to the story).

The main characters might be a bit 1 dimensional but it seems to work for the story and you don't notice it unless one sits back to analyse the story (like when writing a review).

If you like his previous book about WW1 then you will love this one. If you have not read that just don't expect black adder and you will get a lot out of it

as good as The First Casualty
