The story sounds like it going to be complex, but I do like this kind of story. I also like the book cover. Congratulations on BOTD. Great review.

I wasn't really into reading this book while looking at the title but then reading this book opened up my mind to certain things, there were new things to learn and explore. I really enjoyed reading this book. Well done

At first, looking at this book, it didn't look like something I would enjoy reading but getting into it and understanding every part of it, made me enjoy reading every part of this book. I also loved the fact that a little bit of romance was incorporated into it. It made the book light, fun and easy to read.

I love the storyline, and it seems to be suspense-filled. I'd love to know if James fulfilled his task. Thanks for your honest review.

:techie-reference: War related fiction isn't what I usually lean towards, but I'll give this one a try considering everything that's currently happening around the world. Good Review.

:violence-duel: James and Jack's storyline sounds interesting as they are transferred to Egypt to be part of the army's intelligence agency in Cairo, as a fan of historical fiction I liked reading your review and I would love to find out more about the book thank you.

I'm not into historical fiction but the unusual setting of Egypt attracted me a bit. I enjoy a well-written adventure so I might give this book a chance.

Why do people say that history is boring? History, in my opinion, means stories of the past and stories are meant to be interesting. A historical fiction that's full of suspense, sufficient dialogue, well-developed characters and all the details in the world should make an interesting story.

This is an action-packed historical fiction novel that has a great setting and is filled with suspense. It was set in WWII. I don't enjoy war novels tho but this is a great one.
Nice review
