    About this audiobook

    As an increasingly isolated and insane Hitler pursues his hopeless war, betrayal and treachery reach the highest levels of the Third Reich.

    German intelligence knows that paratroop officer Steiner survived "Operation Eagle," the bungled assassination attempt on Winston Churchill, and is now a POW somewhere in London. Reichsfuhrer Himmler wants him back—at any cost—and puts his top espionage agents in charge of the perilous rescue mission.

    Racing from the nightclubs of Lisbon to Hitler's opulent country retreat to the damp streets of London, Himmler's men get closer to their target—and to the shattering true objective of their mission....

    • 3/5
      Moderately good sequel to The Eagle has Landed, and perhaps slightly more convincing because of a tighter plot and a more believable situation. The basic story is whether one of the main characters of the previous book can be sprung out of jail. Rather irritating is Higgins' insistence on framing his books with nonsense about how he 'obtained' his story. But it's a good relaxing read, although lacking the detail and plotline control of writers like Tom Clancy
    • 4/5
      Not as good as The Eagle Has Landed, but a gripping thriller nonetheless, full of contradictory characters that confound our expectations such as the anti-Nazi German patriot Steiner himself, or the pro-Hitler upper class English Shaws. It is this aspect that gives it a moral ambiguity that straightforward WWII thrillers often lack and made me want the plot to rescue Steiner to succeed, despite this benefitting the Germans.
