Again, loved the characters, the events, etc. Everytime I write about Ken Follett I tend to say the same things. I'm running out of new ways to say them.

This text is about a woman in the British SOE during WWII who goes into France and helps organize the resistance groups. The French resistance group fails so Flick must organize an all woman, French speaking team of British SOE rejects and novices to complete a covert opperation with only 3 days of training and a clock ticking quicking to D-day. There's a lot of shooting and torture in this one. I hate that I both like and hate the main vilain. There are moments when you sympathize with him, but you still always hope to see Flick to succeed in the end. Follett is good at creating characters like that. It's entertaining. Read it!
