Helen MacInnes Knihy

Napínavý příběh prvních dnů 2. svět. války. Čtenář s napětím sleduje líčení dramatického příchodu špiona do rodiny, do prostředí malé bretaňské vesničky, kde má vystupovat jako jeden její obyvatel, zajatý v Anglii. Díky veliké podobě obou se mu podaří oklamat vesničany i přátele, jen matka a milenka sedláka, jehož místo zaujímá, prohlédnou jeho přestrojení. Přesto se však stanou jeho spojenkyněmi a spolubojovnicemi, když v něm najdou stejného antifašistu jako jsou samy. Kniha je po literární stránce místy poněkud naivní, je však psána s velkou dávkou osobního prožitku.

A game of espionage ... Fenner burned Rosenfeld's message, reminding himself wryly that he was behaving in the very best tradition. This was a game not too difficult to learn, he thought. A game?
