Format:Paperback
What a coup! Yes, I never recognised that this is Simon Scarrows brother until I delved into author notes. And Alex Scarrow can certainly be put on a par, if not surpass, his brothers style.
This novel really races along, and for anyone interested in WWII fiction, it's a cracking piece.
Great plot with a downed USA B-17 found off the coast of Rhode Island. And the crew and mission? Well, no spoilers here!
What I can say, is that Alex Scarrow goes straight into my top 5 authors - I'll certainly be looking for more from him.
Great novel, well written, good characterisation.
Worth £8 of anyones money. Buy it!

I'm very picky with fiction novels and if the book isn't gving me the X factor to read it it goes on the shelf and sometimes I never get back to it. This one is so gooooood! Such a great plot with characters you immediately get familiar with. The story builds up as it goes and you keep getting anxious to find out what's really gonna happen and, again, some authors don't get that last part of the book right either. But Alex Scarrow really nails it in a brilliant, emotional and brave way.
It's gone right on my top ten fav's ever.
A MUST!

I was very impressed with this book, the author's debut novel. It has a well written and plausible storyline which is focussed around what, for many people, will be a particularly emotive subject - WWII, but from a German perspective. I highly recommend this book and will now be browsing the Kindle Store for more of the author's work.

No better than average
This book falls into that category of thrillers that reads like a run-of-the-mill Hollywood movie. It's got all the usual plot devices like sunken 'treasures', cloak and dagger... Read more

Average
Average thriller, let down by poor research and 2-dimensional characters. Would a freelance photojournalist still be shooting on film? Read more

Could have been better
I wanted to enjoy this book but became disappointed. One problem is that we know that the plot will fail because its very obvious that no such event happened in history. Read more

Magnificent WW2 story!
A wonderful, sad yet thrilling story on the lines of The Eagle Has Landed. Almost believable, and like The Eagle Has Landed, you want the Germans to be successful! Read more
