Title: Hapless hero and hopeless plot
Product review: Tristan violates the most basic rule of novel writing: that the reader has to care what happens to the main characters. Normally, I love spy adventures and am fascinated by adventures in the Nazi era. The main character in this novel is so stupid and inept and his survival so unbelievable and dependant on dumb luck, that I almost, despite my Jewish background, found myself rooting for the Nazi assassin to finish him off.
