4.0 out of 5 stars Not his best, but not bad 13 Sep 2011
By Bridgey
Format:Paperback
Bruno Wildermann is member of the blind eagles, working for the Wrinfield Circus he is billed as the greatest trapeze artist of all time.

Using his skills he is approached by the CIA to return to his home country and steal the newly discovered formula for antimatter. Along there way he must encounter murder & double agents at every turn.

A nice idea for a book and the first 3 quarters was very well written, however the ending seemed a bit too convenient for my liking and didn't flow as well as the rest of the book.
