To paraphrase an old 1970 TV ad, I tried it (for about 60 pages) and I did not like it. The book started with the Germans beginning to occupy France in 1940 and the story started as meekly as the French defenses. I read as our hero (Roy Hawkins) crossed over to Lisbon for a flight to Bermuda and then to the United States. The story never locked me in...

Anglo-American, MI6, Roy Hawkins has a lot of rough edges. As an agent of MI6, Hawkins gets out of Paris just as the Nazis arrive. He expects to get re-inserted within weeks to support the Resistance, but is instead assigned to the New York Station. His mission there is to flush the Nazi spies working with American sympathizers. What he uncovers is a well organized effort to defeat Roosevelt's run for a 3rd term.
