A Toast to Tomorrow

Following on from 'Drink to Yesterday','A Toast to Tomorrow' can be quite easily read as a stand alone.This is a light-hearted spy romp which takes place during the early days of the Second World War. A young man is picked up from an Ostende beach in 1918,he is near dead with a nasty wound to the head. When he finally comes round he has no memory of his earlier life. We follow his eventual recovery and his rise through the ranks of the emerging Nazi Party until he becomes Head of the German Police. Although he is a favorite of Hitler he has proved himself to be incorruptible and thus has made an enemy of Gobbels and other members of the party.
While this is going on,British Intelligence are receiving messages in an outdated code giving them disturbing information.
'A Toast to Tomorrow' is a clever if somewhat improbable tale of espionage during WW2. One of the two writers of the Manning Coles books,Cyril Henry Coles,was a member of the British Intelligence in WW1 and some of his expertise has certainly come out in the writing of this story. ( )

A very amusing, very British spy story, humorous and witty in the Brit style. Clever. ( )
