from the "August, 1941: an american pilot is about to strike the blow that will win the war- for Germany!" "Kyle writes thinking man's thrillers that combine all too human characters, masterly plotting, and impeccable research...it is fiction that makes history live."
I like Kyle's other books more; this one had a hard time keeping my interest. I never really got to care about the main character too much, though he is a good person caught up in some messes he's having a hard time getting control over. I originally read it in College, & at that time, I would have rated it a 4star most likely. it's been an on again-off again read for several months, & I just decided to shelve it indefinitely.
3.5 Stars A tense World War II thriller, Stalking Point thrusts a disgraced ex‑pilot into a German assassination plot against Roosevelt and Churchill. The book plots are meticulous and gripping, though character empathy and surprises are thin. Just a bit above average
A curious thriller in that you couldn't predict where the story was going to go. The long chase up the St Lawrence needed to be more tense and the ending almost felt like an anticlimax.
