Espionage movies are always thrilling to watch. The novel is even more thrilling because you could make your own pace of covering the story at leisure. The suspense would be had whenever you would please, by scheduling your reading. This wartime story of espionage is sort of engrossing. Thank you for the comprehensive review.

It's not often that a historical fiction book has so much to offer, but this one sounds promising. War and espionage draw me to it, but I'll stick around to learn more about a bygone era.

I usually skip historical fiction genre but as the free sample was available so I just read it. The plot of the story is suspenseful, absorbing, well written, easy to read, and full of fascinating historical details. The author has presented a fair account of the Egyptian pyramids, Sphinx, and other structures at Giza, which I enjoyed most. Characters are unique and interesting. Congrats on BOTD. 💐💐👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💐💐💐

A historical fiction with a twist of war and espionage that makes this novel an engaging thriller. James and Jack are on a mission in Cairo, to detect and neutralize the German agents. Greg Kater debuted his first work of fiction, with an espionage story and it is worth reading.

Thanks Rosemary for the review. Have started reading it as you have made me hungry to know the details. Nice summarisation. Let us interact after I have completed it, say in another 48 hours. :D

This story was talked the history about World War II. In the story, the synopsis is sound interesting and have a little bit complicated for me. The grammar was good and have used some complicated vocabulary in the sentences.
