4.0 out of 5 stars A Rollicking Spy Story, December 26, 1998
Durrell's 1957 espionage classic is just as fresh and exciting as ever. Methuen, intrepid British secret service veteran, tramps about the mountains of southern Serbia in search of the White Eagles, a band of rebels to Tito's regime who support the long-deposed Yugoslav royal family and have come across a great secret. Lovers of the spy genre will enjoy this book immensely. Those interested in the Balkans will revel in Durrell's descriptions of the landscape and people of Serbia. The White Eagles do exist, in fact a modern incarnation was a paramilitary band responsible for much terror and mayhem in Bosnia in the 1992-5 war.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tedious 'Boys Own' Adventure, April 12, 2008
Lacking the stylistic flair of the Alexandria Quartet, this potboiler spy novel is weighed down with stodgy descriptions of the Yugoslavian landscape and thinly drawn characters. The book feels like it was churned out in the hope of imitating the commercial success of Ian Fleming's early Bond novels. A poor introduction to the rich exoticism and flamboyance that characterizes Durrell's other works.
