A plan for avenging a debt

I love everything about this book. I've had it in hardcover for years and decided that this format is easiest to carry around.

[Barry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although somewhat dated on purchasing and such, this was a terrific book. The story is that 4 WWII Jedburghs reunite for revenge of the murder of their 5th man and former leader who underwent hours of torture by the Nazis to protect them.

Thriller - Sledgehammer is the code name for the operation of an elite OSS unit behind German lines during World War II. Five experts in guerrilla warfare are concealed under identities as a crusading journalist, a Hollywood stuntman, a professor of psychology, a money man for a major casino, and a billionaire bachelor. Their mission is clear. Their training has prepared them for anything. But when the journalist is murdered, his four friends change the plan to one single purpose: get revenge.

I read this so long ago, I have to reread to give a synopsis. I remember it was good, in an Ocean's 11 kinda way.

[NebulousGloom (FK) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty good plot, but the writer was too impressed with himself and kept giving directions for how the "camera" should move. Lame.

Decent action adventure.
