About this audiobook

The occupied Channel Islands: the last outpost of German resistance at the end of a long and savage conflict. Most feared amongst them: St Pierre, the heavily guarded fortress chosen by a crazed SS Commandant for his suicidal final stand.

With Berlin on the verge of capture, it is the most sensitive mission of the war.

An end game that calls for a hero – with something else besides. A game for a battle-hardened veteran ready to lay down his life for his birthplace. And for the woman he left behind…

“Jack Higgins is the master craftsman of good, clean adventure…in the footsteps of Sapper and the great John Buchan” – Daily Mail

    A bit of a strange offering here from Higgins, it is written in the first person which is a style of his that I have not come across before.The basic plot is that Owen Morgan, retired through injury, is requested by the Prime Minister to lead a dangerous mission to find out more about the 'Nigger' project which is being undertaken on a ficticious Channel island. Owen Morgan was born and bred on the island which makes him the ideal choice for the task. However, he has personal demons that need to be conquered, including a lost love and a deceased father. Higgins shows in this novel the forgotten side of war in the channel islands, also the friendship that can be found by enemies when facing a difficult situation together.As usual there is plenty of action all the way through including lynchings and shootings galore.Another Higgins classic, although not up there with his best, still a good read.
