I must admit I wasn't overly keen upon reading the synopsis but as they say 'you shouldn't judge a book by its cover' so I thought I would give it a try. I hadn't previously read any of the Joe Wilderness books previously and whilst this isn't a bad thing, it may have helped on some aspects of the back story rather than reading between the lines.
The story itself took a while to grip me but it is full of strong characters, particularly female characters which in such a novel was a great aspect. It was a typical spy novel on the surface but I would say the historical details were what set it apart from others in the same genre. I would definitely recommend this if you are a keen historian or looking for a bit of extra detail on your books.
