“Jackdaws” by Ken Follett
My rating: 5 stars
“Jackdaws” is the fictionalized account of the attack on France’s Sainte-Cécile, where Nazi forces housed their main communications. The British knew that to deal a crippling blow in a war that was not going their way, the building’s communications system must be destroyed. Led by “Flick,” an undercover team of women must infiltrate the building and succeed where bomber planes have failed.
Mr. Follett has an amazing writing style that drags you into the story. This is a book sure to keep you interested until the very end. The narrative switches mainly between Flick and Dieter, a Nazi major, adding depth to an already engaging tale.
Jackdaws by Ken Follett was released in December of 2006 and is available anywhere books are sold, and for Amazon’s Kindle.
