Product Description

An explosive World War Two adventure from the author of THE EAGLE HAS LANDED set on the eve of D-Day.

A routine mission ends in icy terror for OSS agent Craig Osborne, as he floats helplessly in the sea off the coast of Brittany. The rumble of engines should signal rescue…

But it is a German warship which appears out of the fog – hauling Osborne to safety and preparing him for the fight.

As the time of invasion approaches, the Allies are ready to play their dirtiest trick: dispatching a highly trained killer behind German lines – in a disguised E-boat with the name Lili Marlene emblazoned on its prow…

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
One of the best novels by Jack Higgins.

It is one of his classical WWII stories, where well known characters as Dougal Munro appear. In these series of works, it is overrated only by his masterpiece itself: "The eagle has landed".

It is far better than "Flight of eagles", Higgins' recent novel dealing with the same subject and involving a few of the same characters (even if it isn't a sequel).

The plot is always breathtaking and far from predictable. You can't really refrain from devourring it, even late at night, when you have to wake up for the next morning's early start .

The attention to historical details is as accurate as usual, giving to the whole story a vivid sense of reality.

If you like the genre, I can suggest the reading of "Storm warning", to which I grant the same rating.

A good solid tale, but not the best one by a long way. For Higgins fans it will be enjoyable. Worth a read but not a classic.

Goofey in Places 15 Jan 2004
By L. Cary - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Buy the book to save the cover. It display a German U-Boat. There's a partial photo of a submarine on the back page. And, each chapter is signaled with a small image of a submarine. So, it's about a submarine, right? Wrong. The only boat in the book is a German E-Boat. The cover designer didn't know the difference between a German U- and an E-boat! :-} One has to wonder how this got past the proof readers!! Meanwhile, the story is fair, but in places it leaves the reader saying, "Naw, that wouldn't happen."

Not being an Editor, I can enjoy a great read... 19 May 2003
By "birkebeiner" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio Cassette
...and that is precisely what I did with this book. The characters were laid out, then they subtley changed and then yet another twist altered your perception again. I was constantly flipping the pages, ready and as nervous as the characters themselves, to find out what would happen next.

A few too many twists but a solid thriller 10 Aug 2004
By J. Carroll - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Higgins has pretty much mastered this genre and has been known to "phone a few in, but COLD HARBOUR does a nice job within the confines of Higgins' rather straight forward style. Playing around with the typical conventions of cross channel warfare, identical twins(never a good idea), and a foray into LeCarre territory, a nice thriller emerges. The story does have its flaws with a rather obvious villain and a few too many twists to hold onto the realism that Higgins generally strives for but overall it works its way to its inevitable conclusion effectively. Other than the ridiculous cover on this paperback, as astutuely mentioned by another reviewer-a U-Boat which has nothing to do with this tales of an E-Boat and espionage, this one's a rather nice page turner and not bad for a quick thriller to fill in on the plane trip or at the beach.
