I cannot say that this book is 'entertaining' because of the horrors of war extenuating from Hitler's mind and described within. Instead, I'll call it 'fixating'. Edgar, Kitty, the OSS and others attempt to thwart it at great peril to themselves. The reading thereof will palpate the heart and probe ones' ethics, in my opinion. This as it reveals the injustice and brutality on the one hand but thankfullly the kindness of those others willing to put their lives on the line to protect the helpless and foil and frustrate the enemy.
If a reader likes spy and undercover stories, and traitors and betrayers, this is definitely going to keep him or her riveted and turning the pages. The content could be very disturbing for those faint of heart, I believe. I'm thankful to realize that despite this being fiction there are still those who would put "love your neighbor" into such harrowing yet persevering action, for you see, some of this story has been based on true-to-life happenings.
In my opinion, the author deserves a 5-Star rating.
