There are better espionage stories out there, but it was an interesting novel about the espionage and counter-espionage efforts of the British and Germans during WWII.....in this tale, the communication of false information in an attempt to deceive the enemy. ( ) 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 in 1939 and 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 MI-6 was called SIS during the war—a small detail. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A deadly web of deceit ensnares two spies with a complicated personal history in this electrifying tale of World War II Eva Bernhardt was a naive twenty-year-old when the rakish spymaster William Hobbs seduced her into working for the British secret service. Now, a year later, she is a tough and cynical operative stationed in Berlin, her hatred of the Nazis matched only by her distrust of the man who abandoned her to the whims of MI6. Tasked with discovering Hitler's plans for invading France, Eva unearths what appears to be a vital piece of information. What she doesn't realize is that the Germans know she is a spy and are using her to mislead the Allies. It is up to Hobbs to rescue Eva and prevent a military disaster. Standing in his way are her seething resentment and two of the Gestapo's most sinister agents. From one astonishing plot twist to the next, "A Game of Spies "is a riveting story of cloak-and-dagger intrigue in the tradition of Eric Ambler and John le CarrE.
