Introduces Audley and Butler, key figures who appear in most later Anthony Price cold war novels of intellectual espionage. From the nearly one-sided armor warfare in the bocage of Normandy through the south of France, a fast moving boo

5.0 out of 5 stars Espionage, Thrills and Excitement, February 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The '44 Vintage (Paperback)

Although this book was the 6th in this series, it actually predates the preceeding books in timeframe. The introduction of the key series characters of Dr. Audley & Col. (then Cpl) Butler during the final push of WWII is great for the reader who already has some familiarity with other titles, but the new reader may find it a less than compelling read. Try one of the other books, then come back to this one and you'll appreciate the depth of character and involved plot.

This review is from: The '44 vintage (Hardcover)

Unfortunately I wasn't really keen on this title. I found the time setting the most interesting factor. The only other title I have read by Mr. Price is The Alamut Ambush & this was average fare. The 44 Vintage unfortunately was not a good one. Below average for it's type.
