Book Description

10 Nov 2011

Born in the United States but separated since they were boys, twin brothers Max and Harry Kelso found themselves fighting on opposite sides when the Second World War broke out, Max as one of the Luftwaffe’s most feared pilots, Harry as a Yank ace in the RAF…

Two brothers united by blood – divided by war

In the early days of World War Two, 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 as one of the Luftwaffe’s most feared pilots, and Harry as a Yank with the RAF. Now, the machinery of war has set in motion an intrigue so devious, so full of danger, that they will be forced to question everything they value: their lives and ultimately their loyalties.

Against impossible odds, it is their courage alone that will decide the course of the war itself…

5.0 out of 5 stars My new favorite book! 6 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Jack Higgins does an exemplary job in creating rich characters, suspensful plot, and a suprising ending. Harry and Max Kelso become real to the reader, and it is heartbreaking to realize that as a reader of a novel, there is nothing one can do to aid the twins in their perils. This is an excellent read, and it becomes impossible to stop reading. As a student, it is difficult for me to find time for things such as recreational reading, but I just had to make time to finish this one! Thank you, Mr. Higgins, for this incredibly captivating and touching story! I recommend this book to everyone!

2.0 out of 5 stars Worst Jack Higgins I have read 19 Dec 2011
By N. Brett TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This is a weak offering from an author who can do a lot better.

It is quite an old novel subject to a re-issue and is the tale of two fighter aces, twin brothers, who fight for the RAF and the Luftwaffe. By way of a backstory we see the separate stories of the two brothers knowing that eventually their paths will collide.

Surprisingly for Higgins, it is simplistic and lacks any sort of tension. Not helped by a total lack of character for the two twins, they remain fairly blank canvases right to the end. Sadly the dialogue is somewhat stilted too. A `twist' is introduced towards the end which is one of the least interesting ones I have ever read! - Utterly pointless.

Having said, it is a very easy, if frustrating, book to read but you finish up thinking your time would have been better spent on a better book.

Probably best avoided.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a book! 8 July 2003
Format:Paperback
Without a doubt this is the best book that I have read alll year. I have read many books similar to this but this book all of the gripping. Mr Higgins however took it to a new level. You can't help but love the heroes of the book. It is a book that takes about one chapter to grip you however once your into it your hooked. I ended up reading it in two days when books usually take me a couple of weeks to read. Thankyou for this wonderful creation Mr Higgins.
