Summary of this Book...
In this World War II story, while the Czech Resistance is being helped by the free world and the Americans, as an agent for the resistance Tereza Valentova of OSS jumps from a plane but her parachute doesn’t open fully and she falls and gets tangled in a tree becoming seriously injured.

Tereza is to be Anton Janek’s partner and Anton is disappointed that they sent him a woman at first, but seeing what Tereza could do, as injured as she was with a broken leg, concussion, and several bruises, Anton begins to feel for her. Until Tereza’s wounds heal, Anton takes care of her, as well as completing his assignments and keeping up with the other resistance members.

In addition, there are several secondary characters Anton deals with. These people have many problems, mainly finding food and fearing the Nazis who have eyes and ears everywhere. Despite all the problems, Anton and Tereza fall for each other. There are some sex scenes but they aren’t overdone. In fact, nothing is overdone to the degree of deflecting the attention from the main point of the story.

The story is very well written and with a good amount of nail-biting suspense. Character portrayal is excellent both for the primary and the secondary characters.

The prose may feel brisk or even dry to some readers, but I liked it because of its briskness, as it heightens the emotion by focusing on the action. In such a dramatic, action-filled story, florid descriptions, excess focus on emotions, and fancy language would cut into the flow of the plot.
This type of Book is good for...
those of us who like reading anything on World War II.
I especially liked...
the bravery of the characters in the Czech resistance.
The n/a of this Book...
is Helen Haught Fanick.
I recommend this Book because...
It is written as if the writer is reporting from the front lines of the resistance and the action is fast and dynamic.
