I couldn’t get enough of this brilliant adventure story. John Bober courageously led his followers towards a decent future.

it was quite engaging and fun to read, but not as captivating as the first book in the John Bober saga.

An adventure story written by Arkady Fiedler, author of Squadron 303 The Story Of The Polish Fighter Squadron With The R. A. F.. Rather good book. Like Tom Sawyer.
