Book Description:
Jackdaws is one of the most stirring, successful, and popular thrillers of Ken Follett's career-a patriotic adventure that has won the hearts of readers and critics alike. But perhaps People magazine said it best: "Returning to the World War II setting of his bestselling thrillers Eye of the Needle and The Key to Rebecca, Follett once again strikes Nazi pay dirt."

This is just a great read, just what you'd expect from Follett. You wonder how the gals can beat the Gestapo, seems the odds are all stacked against them.... Read Pillars of thr Earth, too. It's one of the best I ever read!

Suspense, drama, excellent plotline. A well told story about female British agents during WW2 just before D-Day. Real page-turner.

Another great Follett page-turner about a group of WWII women resistance fighters going behind enemy lines. Their mission is to infiltrate a Nazi telephone exchange in France and blow it up. With a german intelligence officer hot on their heels, it keeps you on the edge of your seat!

This book copuld easily be turned into a movie. Verry fast paced, entertaining, thrilling, well written. The characters are awesome and the interactions between them seem real. I really enjoyed this book and I don't like everything that Ken Follett writes. I highly recommend this book.
Marla R. (This is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. 6 women become secret agents with a mission to blow up the Germans commoncation lines in France. You get a great story as well as a look into WWII and the struggles they went through. And a little romance to boot.
This book was wonderful. It was suspensful, and well written. I am not a war buff, but loved this book and recommend it often.
