An entertaining historical thriller! Reminds me of Jeffery Deaver's Garden of Beasts and Frederic Forsythe's The Odessa File. It provides one answer to the eternal question: What must good men and women do when evil walks among them? Dean Koontz has made a career answering this question. JEA, Amazon Reader, 5 Stars! Intriguing Novel! I really enjoyed this book, even more than I hoped to. The plot was full of twists and turns that kept the reader thinking and anticipating. I liked the good characters in the book and was glad to see the evil ones get what they deserved. I just indulged myself and sat and binge read the last 20% of the book. A true spy action thriller! U4ea, Amazon Reader, 5 Stars! Brilliant! Simply superb! This is an excellent read. The story is well constructed, a thriller woven into a background of historical fact. As a scuba diver I particularly enjoyed the underwater scenarios. This is a very difficult book to put down once you've started reading it. Anthony Lincoln, Amazon Reader, 5 Stars! Riveting!
