Title: Slapstick Adventure Under the Guise of a Thriller
Product review: It could have been a good book. The cover looked good, the flyleaf was captivating and the storyline had real potential with nice historical underpinnings. But, it was overwrought with unbelievable scenes and too many last second escapes. It seemed as though he was writing it for a James Bond screenplay rather than an adventure novel. Novelists have used the Nazi storyline since the 1950s, and it seemed to die out in the early 1990s. Not in this book. Anymore it seems like a hackneyed crutch used by a novelist to provide the archetypical bad guys. By the end of the book I felt I had been taken in by a bait and switch con. Slapstick is not what I enjoy reading and had I known what I was getting into, I never would have invested the time to read it.
