Most of the author's other series are about naval wars.
This series is about a British operative working with the French Resistance in WW II. This is Book 3 and is the best of the series, with lots of action and suspense. I just wish there were fewer details about geography and the numerous villages in the area; that gets tedious.
Book 2 (Return to the Field) is the weakest with many confusing aspects. (Too many characters and too difficult to figure out which is the focus of a particular chapter.) Books 1 (Into the Fire) and 4 (Single to Paris) are very good. ... Book 5 (Staying Alive) is actually a prequel. (I have read all but Book 5.)
I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys World War II spy fiction but would suggest skipping Book 2 or reading it last if you loved the series.

Unread
The second book got long and wordy and would like to return this one and the next one also. They may be as wordy as my review of an unread book.

Enthralling & exciting from page 1 to the final page -- was she safe or about to be captured; would her brief be carried out or not ? Couldn't put this book down, wanting to know what next !

Great read
Cover to cover nail biting action. Excellent detail and believable storyline. Makes one recognize the kind of bravery that led the allies to victory over the nazi's.

This is so far the only book I've read that is written in staccato! I never imagine such style could be applied to writing. To compliment the staccato, there were only a handful of complete and proper sentences. Every page is fill with hyphens. It is the most hyphenated book I've ever read!
Although the story is somewhat plausible it is certainly a dread to read.

My mother passed this book on to me. The premise was intriguing but the story draws out so slowly the ending in an anti-climax
