I have read several novels concerning the events which followed The Duke of Windsor's abdication and which related to the rumoured German plot to reinstate him as King. Most have focused on the events in Spain prior to the Duke taking up his post in the Bahamas, but this one supposes that there was a plot to coerce/persuade him to leave from there to go to Germany to await a successful invasion of Britain by the German forces gathered in the Channel ports. A very good plotline and good characters made this a very enjoyable read and certainly give a plausible reason, for why the German army put off their invasion and eventually cancelled it. Well worth reading.
This is a good old fashioned thriller. Some if not all of the twists you can spot. Pace moves along at a cracking pace and it's an easy read. If you want something quick and easy to read and enjoyable this fits the bill.
Non stop action. Pages filled with great characters, with flaws and qualities. The plot is great and the characters are believable. Went too fast.Conrad SAMAYOA.
