The book has very good character development and unexpected story twists. The story is lively and well written. The Cole/Bunch duo does excellent work. This series is promising to be as good as their Sten series.
The only problem with the book, at least for me, is that it is a memoir. As with all memoirs, you don't have to guess whether the protagonist makes it out alive, it's just a matter of how many parts they still have. You can usually sort of forget after some pages that it is a memoir. Unless you are reminded ... regularly (sigh). Still, I can recommend this book without reservation. It's a good read.
