About this listen
On a Danish island across the North Sea, Harald Olufsen stumbles upon a secret German installation. With England preparing its largest aerial assault, what Harald has discovered may turn the course of the war, but the race to convey the information could have terrible consequences for everyone close to him. For his older brother, Arne, a pilot in the Danish air force, and for Arne's fiancee, Hermia, an intelligence analyst desperate to resurrect the foundering Danish resistance. And most of all, for Harald himself.
Filled with knife-edge suspense and rich, tantalizing characters, this is Ken Follett writing at the top of his form, unforgettable storytelling from an unforgettable writer.

Good One!
Enjoyed this WWII Spy Thriller.
Great characters, and an interesting take on the early war from the Danish perspective.
Great pace and emotion, well written and well researched.
John Lee is my favourite narrator, so that made it even more enjoyable!

Exactly what to expect from Follett
It's a period piece with action, espionage and unpredictability. Follett may not have the most profound symbolism, but he is one of the greatest literary entertainers I've read.

Great, simple listen
This was a great book for when I wanted to hear something simple but it was still thoroughly entertaining.

Not as good as I hoped
Having just finished the Century trilogy by the same author and narrator I had high hopes for this one, but to be honest I wasn't overly disappointed when it came to a end. John Lee was fantastic in the Century trilogy and managed to keep his voice both as a narrator and doing character voices consistent for close to 100 hours. In this book he is all over the place - almost sounds like he is trying to impersonate James Earl Jones. And the production quality is abysmal; it sounds like each chapter, and sometimes each paragraph, was recorded in a different room - or maybe in his car while driving. As for the story, it is certainly entertaining if a bit unbelievable and I didn't like the way it wrapped up - as if the author realized he was almost out of paper and had to cram it all into the last 2 pages. The characters were also a little unsatisfying - the cop who is chasing the hero goes from a loving husband to a crazed lunatic without any real explanation and the hero who despite being in extremely perilous situations still has time to daydream about the fact that the girl he likes called him darling and others who seemed as though they were going to be important just disappear from the story. Not being familiar with Follett until now, maybe this was his standard in 2005. I highly recommend the Century Trilogy and will listen to that one again sometime, but this one I will delete.
