About this listen

Reissue of the timeless Higgins classic…

Captain Hugh Lomax's last view of Kyros had been as a German prisoner of war. The picturesque beauty of the Greek Islands hiding their blood-drenched history and the terrifying carnage that took place years earlier.

But there are questions still unanswered. Lomax knows he was innocent, and as he returns to Kyros he begins to remember things he had long since buried in the back of his mind; the deadly mission he undertook, as well as a horrific massacre that still remains without reason. Now, the time has come for answers.

Lomax is set to unlock the secrets of his past; someone betrayed the islanders at the height of the Nazi occupation, and they want their secret kept, whatever it takes, whoever has to suffer.

Ok, but not great

The plot was a little repetitive and I cannot say I enjoyed Andy Creswell’s voices for the characters very much. There are far better Jack Higgins books than this, however it isn’t particularly long therefore worth a listen as it doesn’t feel you have to put much time into this story to finish it. Night of the Fox my personal fav, give that a good if you’re thinking about the next story.
