First Sentence
She was running, running as she had done before in her dreams, except this wasn't a dream, even though with the flares dropping, as slowly as petals, and the yellow light, and the dark streets with the orange glow on the skyline it could easily be a dream, a horror dream. Lire la première page

5.0étoiles sur 5 Rich, Chilling and Engrossing, Aoû 9 2008
Par Toni Osborne "The Way I See It" (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This book is the life of Karl Voss and Andrea Aspinall from the time of WW11

In 1943, Captain Karl Voss a young officer in the Abwehr (the German military intelligence organization) is recruited by disillusioned Army officers to become a double agent- posing as an enemy of the Nazi state, but remain loyal to Germany. His job is to go to Lisbon as the German Legations military attaché and security officer; once there, trade Intelligence with the British and the Russians.

Twenty year old Andrea Aspinall an educated mathematician with a facility for languages is recruited and trained by the British Secret Service and send to Lisbon. Her cover job is a secretary for a Shell Oil executive (a British agent) translating German documents into English. While there, she lives with a wealthy Irish business man who happens to be doing all in his power to help the Nazis. Her mission is to obtain as much pertinent information as possible.

In 1944, Lisbon is a city of spies and Portugal was extremely important to all sides. Germany was heavily into the industrial diamonds trade in order to finance the Third Reich secret weapons.

During this terrible time of convoluted careers and volatile distrustful dealings, Andrea and Karl meet and fall in love.

This novel is rich in imagination, written with a seamless blend of historical events and fiction. The narrative is chilling and engrossing. It is a meaty novel of love and deceit with a plot that twists and turns leading to a realistic and believable conclusion. First the story covers wartime Lisbon, moving to London and East Berlin during the height of the Cold War and ending during the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The author has skilfully created mesmerizing characters in his cast of villains in different agencies and has painted his protagonists with subtlety and intelligence. Mr Wilson is obviously an ace in his genre. This gripping espionage thriller kept me guessing and highly entertained. Bravo.

3.0étoiles sur 5 I wish I could have liked this book, Nov. 17 2002
Par Un client
but the story was so plodding, and improbable, and the characters so thin . . .
The opening chapters are terrific, showing the inner workings of the Abwehr in WW II-- but the other chapters are anti climactic and do not build on one another--

2.0étoiles sur 5 Boring spy thriller, Jui 8 2002
Par "thrillerreader" (Southern California) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This novel probably wins my prize as the most boring "thriller" I've ever read. I waded through the whole thing just to see if it would ever improve. It didn't, but I persevered right through to the disappointing ending. The main problem is that I didn't care about any of the characters. The female lead, a math genius turned spy, just drifts through life letting others manipulate her. The book had great potential but never grabbed me. Robert Wilson may be a fine writer, but he doesn't keep the pages turning for me the way Jack Higgins and the late Robert Ludlum do.
