Title: Splendid read, absolutely riveting, but the ending ??
Review: As noted above, a great book, a great read and very stimulating. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the whole essence of the book, but as noted by some other reviewers, the ending kind of "damp squibbed" me a bit. I didn't want to finish it; I do hope he writes a sequel - but will it actually tell us where the story is going?The crypto is excellent and the use of the first person really draws you into the book; however Andrew Loeb's character is sorely underused and relatively unexplained and then completely discarded, and the germans in the book get a poor run (Rudy and Bischoff; did he survive?)Ah, well, still a great book and well worth the extra shipping to read in the UK before it gets out here. Buy it and see for yourself.
