Prince of Spies by Alex Gerlis – 5 Stars
Publisher: Canelo
ISBN: 9781788638722
Captivating! I was surprised by
the content in this book given it was in the Spies category. I was expecting just
action after action with just high intensity events and an already seasoned super-hero
agent as in so many other spy books. But instead was given a well-constructed
and complete story: how during WW II Richard Prince was recruited, quickly trained
for am emanate mission, constant situations that highlighted the high risk and precautionary
steps needed, the loneliness and despair in his and other agent’s lives, the
addiction to the spy game, the intelligence and secretiveness within the spy organizations
internally as well as externally, and so much more. All this with the realistic
background and history of WW II, mainly focused in the Germany and Denmark arenas.
Did I mention the building and actions to stop the construction of the German missiles
and rockets? Or the extreme sacrifices some of the agents encountered?
Follow the main character Richard
Prince from his detective days through his development into a top British Agent
and his adventures to uncover the reality of German plans of destruction and
menace, particularly the German actions in Denmark. This is a complete story
that grips you and places you in Prince’s shoes. Extremely well done! I’m
already standing in line for Book 2.
