Reviews
Well researched and skillfully executed . . . a highly readable work which is both informative and imaginative.
A vast, flowing, unstoppable tale of World War II . . . It is historical fiction at its best. —Homer Hickam, author, Rocket Boys
A taut and twisting thriller with memorable flesh and blood characters . . . Jacobson's clockwork plot draws the reader onto its roller coaster ride [and] clicks along at breakneck speed.
