A superb historical WW2 thriller
JJ Toner uses impeccable research to paint the picture of everyday life wartime Germany as the backdrop to a gripping and suspense-packed espionage thriller as Kurt Muller attempts to derail the Nazis’ plans for the first atomic weapon.

Terrible 😂.
Absolutely terrible, lol, especially towards the end of the story. It's almost like a "B" movie from the 1950's....and not even a good one. I had downloaded the next two books in the series.... they'll be going back. 😂

Spectacularly Awful
Only the absence of "ve haff vays of making you talk" would have made this cliche ridden stereotypical rubbish worse than it actually was. Disappointing because the first novel in this series reasonably good

very disappointing
ok if you like crash bang wallop action books that are ridiculously far-fetched and have lots of plot-clichés but no subtlety. The story lurches from one setback/escape to another. I stuck with it in the hope that the finale would come good but it was a parody of a 1960s Bond film, including a ticking time bomb from which a histrionic bound female has to be rescued amidst a series of explosions. I laughed aloud at one point at the silliness of it. The first in the series seemed promising which is why the second is so disappointing. I won't be reading the next one. The narrator is quite good but the exaggerated accents and voices all add to the sense of parody.
