Snides [Paperback]

Tony Walker (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2004

Snides - where Hitler's SS fights the British SAS - thirty years after WW2 has ended! This action-packed story moves rapidly from London to Normandy in 1944, three days after D-Day, and from Belfast in Northern Ireland to the desert of Oman and the battle-torn streets of Berlin in 1945. It's a gripping chase for possession of a rare Nazi document and some incriminating photographs of a British renegade who fought for Hitler's Waffen-SS in WWII, as a member of the infamous British Free Corps. Ex-SAS trooper John Pilgrim now runs a store selling militaria in Soho, London's 'Sin Center'. He meets a feisty American reporter, Sally Brandon, who not only looks good, but shoots straight too. When Pilgrim and Sally get together, bullets fly, and the bad guys die!

5.0 out of 5 stars A RIPPING GOOD YARN, OLE BOY !, January 2, 2005

This review is from: Snides (Paperback)

Good characters with an interesting story line keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. Not only do you feel like you have spent some time in London, you have the added bonus of learning a few things about WWII and weaponry which is all woven into an intriguingly good story line. I appreciated the historial accuracy and information on guns. It will be interesting to see how the main characters continue to develop in the next John Pilgrim novels.

I sat down and read this book in one evening and thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the plot.The subject of the BFC is a fascinating subject in which very little has been written since the end of WW2.
I found it interesting that Mr. Walker made our hero John Pilgrim not only a former SAS soldier but also a militaria collector.I look forward to reading more of his material in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snides - a rattling good story!, December 21, 2004

This review is from: Snides (Paperback)

I read a review copy of Snides and enjoyed it very much. Realistic situations and accurate WWII historical detail all merge to make this book an exciting read. The lead characters, John Pilgrim and Sally Brandon, are not cardboard cutouts, but believable people. Pilgrim has a sense of humor, and sometimes misses the target when he shoots! Sally has opinions, and isn't afraid to voice them. She's certainly no blonde chick, designed to be 'arm candy' for the hero. The teaming of John Pilgrim and Sally could turn out to be the start of another great series starring these two. I'm looking forward to the next one!
