I couldn’t stop listening

This book is exceptionally engaging. The story is exciting and the characters are engaging. I listened to it on a very long car ride and it flew by.

The main character is very well developed. You are immediately on his side. The historical period that it takes place in adds to the high drama.

I can’t wait for the next book.

John Cook's is human. excellent ending!

Ronson crafts a seamless story from book to book. John Cook's the veteran everyone wishes they had next door, and on their side. the prose is outstanding, and Ronson dives deeper into Cooks mind and heart, having us ache for John. we'll played!
he did not disappoint!

Great story well performed..

A good story with superior narration. As good as the first in a well developing arc. Highly recommend the series.

England during WW II

I found it interesting to read about how some of the English felt about the war.
