I love reading Follett's books. This is a nice cat and mouse game. You know you are going to get a villain with some heart, some humor, character development and a satisfying conclusion.

Tal como outros livros do autor, esta obra mistura a história com um enredo emocionante. A adrenalina é a preparação de uma missão, que aos olhos de muitos, parecia impossível faz-nos ficar viciados nesta história.
Confesso que não “simpatizei” muito com a personagem principal, mas é sem dúvida um livro muito bem escrito, com uma história completa.
O que mais me fascina, é esta ser uma obra inspirada em casos reais. É muito diferente ver mulheres a serem personagens principais em livros sobre a guerra e, com um papel tão determinante.

Another stellar entry into the mind and brilliance of Ken Follett!
Follet brings us back into the chaos and madness of WW2, and again brilliantly narrates a story that is filled with action, with engaging characters, and most incredibly based on real events! A group of British amateur 'spies' are recruited to lead a suicide mission into occupied France, and infiltrate and explode a key communication relay center north of Paris. Their mission is a-la 'Mission Impossible' scenario. 5 women are chosen and led by an experienced resistance fighter 'Flick', and she leads a group of least expected women into a formidable mission! Flick herself is badass, beautiful, and willing to give up anything to flag and country. The other women in the other hand...
Follet again set up a narrative that is filled with action and hyperbole, leading to a crescendo worthy of any hollywood movie! The brilliance in Follett is his ability to express his thoughts elegantly in the most simple way possible! It's a near an impossible trait in a writer, but Follet has masterminded this skillset. His characters are riveting, and there's plenty of violence, some sex and lots of humor in the story. He weaves his characters like chess pieces, and in the end he checkmates without difficulty!
