Summary: Not riveting
Review: Story line above.This thriller didn't hold my attention as it should have. The second have did outpace the first have, but that wasn't enough for me to give this a high recommendation. Very few of the characters were very exciting. Of course Catherine was the most exciting, yet most unbelievably potent, character in the novel. There are many more novels of WW2 intrigue that out pace this one. Recommend..Library

Summary: Fair ar best
Review: This novel is a dubious debut. Questionable at best. Look, I realise it's a first novel, but please...Skip this one and read The Unlikely Spy. Now there's a spy thriller! And you can bet the farm that Mr. Altman himself has read it--repeatedly. I mean even his Nazi female spy and Mr. Silva's (The Unlikely Spy) share the same first name: Catherine. Couldn't think of another name? Hey, wasn't Silva's Chatherine's father being held at a concentration camp as leverage as well? Hum? The dust jacket says Mr. Altman comes from a long line of writers. Obviously, one of them pulled some strings for him.

Summary: Intrigue Galore
Review: This fast paced debut novel is full of intrigue, plot twists, thought provoking characters, and gray areas often not seen in conventional spy thrillers. I predict a stellar career for newcomer John Altman. Maybe a little less violence next time around.

Summary: First Rate Thriller
Review: This first rate thriller kept me entertained for many hours driving from St.Louis to Santa Fe. It made me want to stop at Los Alamos. The clever combination of fictional and historical characters with intrigue and action to spare make it a great book on tape!
