Customer Reviews
Great story with many twists
The story brings you back in time, first to the sixties and then even further, the fourties and the times of Nazi Germany.constructors constructed a story which blends real events with fiction, historic characters with the heros he invented. While parts of the book read like a history documentary, the real action is evolving faster and faster, and closes with a surprise.
