This was a ripping good read -- I enjoyed it from start to finish and had to go out and pick up the sequel! ( )

Get Churchill : shorty.

Old Adolph is having not a great time of it as the Allies begin to make gains in various theatres of war, so he hatches a spy-raid type plot to kill Churchill while he is not as easily defended.

To do this involves landing a team near a small town, and being assisted by a couple of local ratzi sympathisers.

A decent enough book, nothing particularly good.

OK, I guess, but I just didn't really care. I stopped listening about 9/10s of the way through.
The setup, all the description of planning, was interesting, but
as soon as the plan starts to unravel, it's obvious it's going to fail, and at that point I wasn't especially interested in how the various characters are going to die or be captured. ( )

Nazis come to England to try to assassinate Churchill. That's basically the idea - the story is how the plan is put together, how it works and doesn't, and intertwines with the life of a small town near the coast struggling to survive the war.

I'm not a huge fan of war fiction, which tempers my response to this piece, but as far as these things go, the writing is good and the pace reasonable enough; it provided a few days' entertainment at least. ( )
