The book transported me to another time and place and thoroughly engaged me. It's a great summer book. Other World War II books such as "Night of the Fox" and "Cold Harbor" were equally engaging, and I absolutely loved "Pay The Devil", so I had great hopes for this book. I'm not a fan of most of his Sean Dillon series books, but I thought that since this one dealt with issues from World War II that it might be a good read. I was mistaken.If you've read any Higgins, you know that much of what he has produced is formua writing, but his genius is in making formula writing new and fresh and engaging every time, so much so that you'll want to pick the book up again and again even though you know where it's going and may not like the ending. While this book too is formula, it is not fresh and it's not engaging. I'm ashamed to say that I actually put the book down about 2/3 of the way through - something I very, very rarely do. I suppose that if you like some of his later books, you might find it a good read, but for me, it was not money well spent.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
