May 1944. The eve of the Allied invasion of Europe. When American OSS agent Craig Osbourne is taken aboard a German E-boat off the coast of Brittany, he thinks that his war – and possibly his life – are over. But the Lili Marlene is actually operated by the Royal Navy out of an ultrasecret base on the English coast. And it will soon be returning Osbourne – a highly trained assassin – to occupied France. There, he will help the beautiful twin sister of a dead British agent infiltrate a German High Command briefing on the defense of the Atlantic Wall. Nothing will prevent the coming Allied assault – but its success may well depend on the outcome of this mission…

"I enjoyed this book from start to finish. Others have written that the first part of the book is a bit slow; I didn't find it slow at all, but there is certainly less action. Lots of plot twists. The "good guys" aren't all that good and not all of the "bad guys" are as bad as they appear." — Leslie (4 out of 5 stars)

" Considerably better than "The President's Daughter". This book was about Nazi-occupied France and an Allied group's efforts at unveiling Rommel's Atlantic Defense Plan for the Allied invasion. Pretty good book. "
" WWII spy pre-D-day war zone novel. I found it hard to keep things straight in it but it could be me. "
" A good story with lots of intrigue & interplay during world war 2. "
" My first break from horror and not a bad choice. Read many years ago and enjoyed the rush and excitement that the author created. "
" In this Higgins adventure classic, an Allied spy operation is suddenly jeopardized just as it's about to discover Rommel's plans for defeating the D-Day invasion. "
" Nancy 5 stars; Ron 4 stars "
" The book that started me on my obsession with the OSS. "
" 100% proof adventure. "
" Although this is not a first-rate book, it presents wealth of details of WWII, from German uniforms, to weapons and vehicles used in the battlefield, providing a great background for the story. "
" Once again JH kills it! Nazis beware- if higgy us writing about you- you lose and lose! "
" Cool, old school WWII thriller. Who knew the Brits had captured German planes and ships and had them hidden in a 'german' village on the British coast? Clever.... "
" Overall I enjoyed this book. It had some spots that seem to drag (not a lot of action). But it picks up at 2/3 of the way through and keeps going to the end. "
" Good read; the few drags are easily read over. "
