This is the first of Forsyth's books I have read. It is a really fast page turner. Historical fiction appeals to me and so to history about the WW2 period. Robert Harris' Fatherland I have also found very interesting. The premise of the book is about a secret organisation protecting and sheltering escaped Nazis has been covered in other books and in film before and makes for interesting reading. The characters are very well developed throughout. I really enjoyed it and found it very difficult to put it down. ( )
