XPD Paperback – 28 May 2009

Another good read with an intriguing story line. A new twist to a well documented history. I can recommend it completely.

Great story. Best espionage novel I have read for a long time.

For those who have read my comments on Billion Dollar Brian this is really engrossing. After such a long time away fro Deighton I feel I am back to a really good read. This book as most of his of the period is history as well as espionage in a difficult period in post WWII Europe.

Complex plot with a lot of characters, but very interesting plot. Takes a few chapters to get going but then it's classic Deighton writing!

Not Mr Deighton's best, a bit too bang-bang, too far from reality. In Winter, for example, everything seemed reasonable, probable, but this is fiction too far into fantasy (not fantasy, just improbable). Kind of James Bond-ish. In summary, no very guid.

Not read this one before. Quite plausable and as always with Mr Deighton very enjoyable.

Not up to his usual standard

One of the best spy storiesEver a joy to read well worth the priceAs good as all his others
