Publisher Description
In the early days of World War II, nations were forced to choose sides in the epic battle that would change history forever. But for two brothers, fate had already made the choice. Separated as boys, Max and Harry Kelso have grown up to become ace fighter pilots--Max with the German Luftwaffe and Harry in Britain's RAF. Now, the machinery of war has set in motion an intrigue so devious, so filled with peril, that it will require them to question everything they know, everything they hold most dear: their lives, their families, their loyalties. Against impossible odds, it is their courage alone that will decide the course of the war...

"Great true story about brotherhood and loyalty. I'm deeply interested in military history (particularly about the Second World War) and I have never heard anything like this before. Truly a amazing story."

" Not his best...insufferably boring...too much of the same schtick. "
— Kevin, 12/25/2013 -
" This book was okay. It has a big twist when the two brothers get seperated and have to face each other in World War II. It has a good stroy line, but is really long. I didn't have the attention span to read it all the way through, but the important parts were very good. "

" world war II fiction, brother ace pilots on different sides, good stuff. "
— Adam, 11/5/2013 -
" One of the most enthralling book I have read on air combat of second world war. Specially like the way it has been written which leave one on the edge while reading the novel "

" This was my first Jack Higgins book and I really liked it. I felt like it started slow but once the story got going I couldn't put it down. I am definitely going to read more of his books! "

" Eric read this book to me at bedtime. It's the only time I read Jack Higgins. I enjoyed the story. "

" A fairly predictable story about twin brothers; one of them is an ace with the RAF and the other is an ace with the Luftwaffe. I don't know why I keep going back to Higgins. He is not the writer he once was. "
— Chuck, 8/15/2013 -
" Probably the best book I've ever read. Love this thing so much. Read it four times. Amazing for world war II enthusiasts, but good for any fiction fan. Truly amazing. "
— Dylan, 7/25/2013 -
" So, right on the back of finishing The Book Thief I end up reading another war-themed novel.... In my defence it was a slow night at work and this was randomly lying on a shelf. Enjoyed it. Twin brothers separated in childhood, both becoming fighter pilots on opposite side of the war... "
— Sophie, 5/22/2013 -
" Classic Jack Higgins page turner. Tarquine the stuffed bear is a pretty flimsy glue to hold this story together though. Plus, is Tarquin truth or fiction? I was confused. "
— Joel, 10/8/2012 -
" This is my favorite Jack Higgins book. I think i've read it about 4 times. A great read for anyone who like the suspense/thriller type! "
— Heather, 5/14/2012 -
" I loved it! i liked the 1998 side to it and the book was very fast paced. "
— Rowland, 11/15/2011 -
" Prelude was a tad too long. An interesting read. War stories buffs should really enjoy this one "
— Vinod, 5/25/2011 -
" Kind of a lackluster ending. If I didn't know any better I would have thought Stephen King put in the work for the last few pages. "
