Product Description

Daily Telegraph

Plenty of action...sharp dialogue and swift characterisation. The whole is intelligently structured so that this is absorbing and thoughtful as well as tense and exciting. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Sunday Telegraph

Sharpe for the Blitz years...The Odin Mission is a meaty, all-action yarn --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate boy's own action hero..., 18 Dec 2008
By B. C. Rost "Bruno Rost" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Odin Mission (Hardcover)
This is a great action adventure featuring Jack Tanner, every Boy's Own hero. He's a fearless, quick witted, born-to-command commando-style Sergeant who fights his corner of the war against all conceivable odds.

As Blitzkrieg sweeps across Northern Europe, Jack single-handedly takes on the Nazis during the invasion of Norway, coming face-to-face with the evil twisted Scheidt (great name!). As those around him lose their nerve, Jack deals the enemy a deadly blow whilst serving up his own special dish of sardonic NCO insolence. Jack Tanner cuts no ice with incompetent Allied commanders, making enemies by exposing the arrogance and indecision of his officers.

What makes this book great is the thrilling combination of action, military detail and historical accuracy. By far the best of James Holland's fiction so far (in my opinion) and I do hope we'll see more of our fearless hero Jack Tanner with many more WWII adventures to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good boys own type adventure, 13 Jun 2008
By Scot Bradley "scuba_scot" (Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Odin Mission (Paperback)
I have long wished that there was a WW2 equivilant to the Sharpe series and I think this comes pretty close. It has a good fast paced action story and James Holland has obviously well researched the period. For people interested in WW2 it makes a nice alternative to the many non-fiction books on the period. Overall I found this book a great read and hope that this is the start of a long running series.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good old fashioned WW2 actioner, 26 May 2008
By N. Brett (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Odin Mission (Hardcover)
An attempt at high action fiction from a writer of history and he gives us a solid and enjoyable actioner that we don't see much of nowdays. Almost a WW2 Sharpe, here we see Sgt Jack Tanner in Norway, on the run from German troops who want the secret he does not know he is protecting.
This is fun with a blend of Sharpe and Alistair McLean's less complex war novels.
Enjoyable and a promising start to what I hope is a long running series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncomplicated fun
This book is excellent. If you grew up with Commando comics and want something similar without the pictures this is it. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Trivial WWII Trash
I must say, I'm very disappointed by this book. It struck me as the English counterpart of the German Landser-novels, but only written in an even more trivial style. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!
Real boys-own stuff, this is a great book very much in the style of a modern Sharpe novel. It was recommended to me and I, in turn, have recommended it to other people. Read more

About as close to Bernard Cornwall's 'Sharpe' books as one could go, and absolutely none the worse for that.
