. . The shit is so thick that I can't wade through, However hard I tried, I couldn't finish this book, Incoherent storyline, too many minor characters who even got their own POV and generally boring main characters, A thriller that doesn't invite you to turn the next page can't be very exciting, And what's with the awkward vocabulary It's like the author dislikes using the same word twice, Words that you rarely see are thrown in like fish food, For me that makes the story lose its flow, A pretty good spy novel, Focuses on World War II and British secret service agents against the Gestapo and military intelligence, The story was good and built to a satisfactory end, but the context was sketchy I thought, or at least I like to learn more historical stuff when I read these things, not just enjoy a thrilling story.
Writing is competent but not Le Carre,
The book begins with a quote from Ernest May from his book on the defeat of France to the effect that the Allies were better prepared than the Germans for war inand should have done better initially.
That surprises me. The book is, in part, an answer to why they didn't do better, but without the larger historical context I'd like, Also I think MIwas called SIS during the wara small detail,
Awful, truly awful. Poorly written. An acceptable beach read, but a shadow of, say Forsyths Odessa File, marred by clunky English, a plot that feels like an extended actwithout the additional twists that make for a truly satisfying and complete yarn, plot points that dont wholly ring true why doesnt Hobbs arm himself with Fricks weapon after the latters demise and errors that pull you out of the narrative in my case, the reference to the Lysanders engines Im sure there were others.
a must read This is another is the series of books by author Altman, It is a good yarn of espionage and intrigue within Germany in the early months of the war in Europe prior to the German invasion of Belgium and Holland.
In German, the Sitzkrieg. No fighting going on other than an intelligence war between the British and the Germans to gain advantage for the coming monster struggle about to envelop Europe and the whole world.
The author weaves a good tale with real life characters from history and presents a plausible plot which leads to an interesting conclusion, Psychological insights effect the characters and the pacing his brisk and never boring, It is a fitting followup to his first novel, A Gathering of Spies, I recommend one read this and his other works, Not much to be excited about, Not a typical spy novel that you wish it was, It's okay. Read it if you must, you can totally ignore this book if you want to, a very good book Gioco di spie, in originale "A Game of Spies" è un romanzo dello scrittore americano John Altman, uscito nel, Si tratta del suo secondo libro, ma questo è l'unico attualmente pubblicato in Italia, l'autore al momento ha all'attivo altri cinque libri,

Per portare a termine

L'autore può essere accostato ad un copia un po' venuto male del Ken Follett degli esordi, infatti anch'esso scriveva romanzi di spionaggio ambientati durante la seconda guerra mondiale brutta copia perchè anche se costruisce una spystory ben costruita, difetta un po' troppo nella definizione psicologica dei personaggi.
Ci troviamo dinnanzi ad una spystoria carina da leggere, semplice, veloce, abbastanza interessante nella trama ma poco approfondito, buono per la spiaggia,

Ma in fondo se si può leggere un buon Ken Follett prima maniera se piacciono le ambientazioni spionistiche durante il secondo conflitto mondiale che senso ha leggerne la brutta copia could not get into this booksolid, a pleasant surprise.
This is a WWII spy story full of twists, turns, misinformation and double crosses, All of this leads to a couple of British spies attempting a daring escape from Germany back to Britain, I don't think the author does a very good job in framing the plot nor drawing his characters, It just didn't seem real to me,
