This is actually part of a series of Tom Wilde novels but I wasn't aware of that even after reading and starting my review. It definitely can be read on it's own.
This is set in 1941 where the war is going really badly for Britain and it's allies.
Tom is living with his partner and their young son but is asked to go on a mission to help the war efforts. It means going undercover into the heart of Germany to recover a package.
I felt a few bits were slower than I wanted but not many and loved how the book progressed. Tom really grew on me as a character and glad to hear their are other tales of his for me to add to my growing list.
Although I know its fiction I don't know how realistic I found the moving around of Germany. I know there was things like that going on but it would have been incredibly difficult. This isn't quite how it appeared in some parts of the book.
The descriptions and behaviours of the characters though made sure that I would recommend this book. It is also one that will stay with me I think.
Now I just need a chance for more of Rory Clements books. When I do then I will make sure to add a review for it too.
