Fast paced, Jack Higgins writing. The period is the end of World War II in the Channel Islands. The main character is Owen Morgan, from the Channel Islands who is asked to return home on a special mission. British Intelligence feels that the Germans in charge of Owen's island will try to continue the war, even though Hitler is dead and Germany has surrendered. Owen must return home to save his town, and his love, from Nazis trying to extend the Reich's end. Sargeant-Major Steiner, a loyal German, caught up in Hitler's Third Reich, is a character from other Higgins books.
This is a quick, easy read with loveable, and hate-able characters. It shows that the power of war changes some people for the worse and brings out the best in others.
I hope you enjoy this book, Higgins is one of my favorite writers. I have read this book a couple of times.
