5.0 out of 5 stars
Best spy thriller I've read in a long time!,
By Pez D. Spencer (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Stettin Secret (Paperback)
Wow! What a great book, I can't believe it's not credited as being James Stewart Thayer's masterpiece. Is right up there with The Eagle Has Landed and Eye of the Needle - one of the best spy thrillers I've ever read!
An American spy is sent to Poland, 1947 with a mission - sink the first and only Nazi aircraft carrier, the Graf Zeppelin, before the Soviets can refurbish it for their own navy. He's pursued by communists, enlists the help of a beautiful partisan woman and a former Gestapo officer, and is basically written off by the OSS in Washington before he even begins. Very well written, fascinating characters and it's clear Thayer does his research. The ending feels a little rushed, but overall a great read. Highly recommended!

Another great thriller from James Thayer,

This review is from: The Stettin Secret (Paperback)
This is a spy thriller set in Poland in the early Cold War, with OSS operative Andrew Jay assigned to sink the Nazi aircraft carrier, the Graf Zeppelin, before the Russians can take it back to Russia.
Nobody and nothing is what they seem to be in this story. There is plenty of suspense here and the climax is thrilling. I think this is better than The Hess Cross. I'll be looking for other books by this author. Highly recommended. |
