While the idea is very interesting -- the Germans, in the middle of World War II, build the Chunnel to invade England -- the execution is simply awful. The author does a very poor job of introducing the characters, and things seem to jump around without a great deal of rhyme or reason. Emphatically not recommended.
A puff piece which is remarkable short on any kind of technical or tactical information. There are a couple of illustrations and a useles map.
