The plot is interesting but can't be called racy. The ending is pretty sad. ( ) It’s 1941. The United States has not yet entered the Second World War. An organization of expatriate Germans in the States is trying to drum up loyalty to the Fatherland. It’s not averse to a little blackmail in order to get people on board, and pilot Ernie Miller is about to find this out the hard way. As a pilot, he may be called upon to use these skills for nefarious means… I picked up this book entirely on the strength of the cheerful yellow seaplane on the cover, and it was a wise purchase indeed. About half the book is set in Canada, which I was not expecting at all, so that was a nice bonus. And the book delivered amply on the aviation front: lots of technical details to keep the nerds like me happy, but plenty of adventure and thrills as well. Less helpful was the eyeroll-inducing language about women’s instincts whenever Ernie’s wife, Dot, was mentioned—and this is definitely more of a man’s fictional universe. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this a great deal, and I found it had a fresh enough (to me) angle on the Second World War to hold my interest. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A covert game of cat and mouse will decide the victor of the Second World War.
1941. The battleship Prince of Wales races across the war-darkened Atlantic. Her secret human cargo makes her an irresistible prize for U-Boats. And the man she carries can, singlehanded, win or lose the war for Britain.
But the most lethal threat comes from the air. For on the far side of the ocean three men are waiting for their brief to strike a deathblow for Germany.
As the battleship nears its destination, a seaplane roars into life, and the deadly game begins in earnest...
A vintage and enthralling WWII thriller from a master of the genre, this is top-rate historical fiction, perfect for fans of Max Hennessy, Alistair MacLean and Nevil Shute. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
