Review: Another great book by ken follett - This is a book you will find hard to put-down. Again Ken Follett I was written a book, with many clearly defined colorful characters, on a plot with many twists and turns while being Historically correct. Review: Good Pre-D-Day Thriller.... - This was my second adventure with Follet and it proved to be a wonderful one. The story line follows that of the one about the "Dirty Dozen". Only here he makes several adjustments in tone, action, and characters. First, the goal is the same to disrupt or destroy a Nazi phone exchange terminal in France just prior to the allied invasion of France. A female resistance fighter makes an attempt at this with a team of resistance fighters and they fail because of poor intelligence about the facility. Some of the men are killed, some captured and later tortured, and a few escape including the ring leader who also happens to be the husband of the female agent. The female agent returns to London with a plan on how to do the job, but it is first turned down and then later approved. The team to do the job is selected from a variety of people and they are all women except for one who is a male cross dresser. Interestingly enough the number on the team is six, or a "half-dozen". The team trains and fights among themselves based on their various backgrounds and characteristics. Finally, the big day comes and the night before the team is given a final test where one of them fails because she disclosed the mission to a stranger who is a member of the RAF and working to check the team's ability to not disclose the mission. This member is sent packing, but appears later with a high ranking officer because she is the daughter of a high government official and the female team leader is told she has to reinstate her. The team leader says, "No" and is backed up by others in MI6. In the mean time the Gestapo has questioned and tortured the captured resistance fighters and has learned how other members are added to the group from England and where they make contact. The local contact is captured, tortured, and replaced by a person working with the Germans who later meets agents and then hands them over to the Nazis. One of the agents that is captured has a radio and the Nazis now have the codes and radio frequencies needed to contact England's inner circle of spies working in France. As you may guess the story continues with the Nazis learning of the attempt by the resistance to damage a vital supply line. The female agents are supposed to do the job, but the real target is the telepone exchange again. There's a lot of cat and mouse play between the team leader and the Nazis which is fun to read and the Nazis do catch a few of the team members, but the team leader continues to outwit the Nazi detective at a number of turns in the later part of the story as she and her remaining team prepare to destroy the telephone exchange building and equipment. The ending is clever and action packed. Any reader of mystery and thriller books will really enjoy the last forty or so pages. The book is an easy read and at several points hard to put down. This is one you'll want to get and read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000OIZUW6 | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #56,805 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #54 in Military Historical Fiction #190 in War Fiction (Books) #198 in Historical Thrillers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (17,155) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 2.1 MB | | ISBN-10 | 9781101209677 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1101209677 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 487 pages | | Publication date | November 26, 2002 | | Publisher | Penguin Books | | Reading age | 18 years and up | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![Jackdaws - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1CojO05reL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great book by ken follett *by K***R on March 31, 2026* This is a book you will find hard to put-down.
