"A very simple concept well executed. Actually put it down for a couple of days because I was scared all the characters were going to die and was disgusted at a betrayal! Very good read." — Amy (4 out of 5 stars)

" I thought this book was a bit boring. I read it while waiting for my plane at the airport and I finished it within the time it took my plane to board. It is a short book and I did end up finishing it so I suppose it wasn't all that bad but definitely not that good either. "
" meh. sounds more exciting than it winds up being. "

" A good way to pass a long afternoon. Not great literature, but I am a sucker for WWII historical fiction. "
" Older novel taken from a real WWII event. (I was actually looking for the story of the real event.) It was a reminder of the 60's-70's genre and a fun, quick rainy day read. "
" For WW-II epic encounter lovers!!!!!!!!!!!! "
" While the book started slowly, it was an intriguing story, and I certainly got caught up in the ending. The ending was not satisfying as there was little resolution. "
" Another war time action thriller from Higgins. A good read. "
" Audio book. Good. Typical Higgins. Broke it up into four or five runs. Listened to most of it on one long run. Got back to it over a week later and had forgotten a lot of the characters. "
" Fact or fiction ... good story, good twists, interesting ending. Worth the read or the listen in my case. "
