Plenty of action... sharp dialogue and swift characterisation. The
whole is intelligently structured so that this is absorbing and
thoughtful as well as tense and exciting
*Daily Telegraph*
Old-fashioned, testosterone-fuelled escapism and Tanner is a
chiselled protagonist straight out of the pages of the old Commando
comics... Destined to be a series that will run and run
*Mail on Sunday*
Sharpe for the Blitz years... The Odin Mission is a meaty,
all-action yarn
*Sunday Telegraph*
A good old-fashioned action hero makes his appearance in this
page-turning thriller, the first of a planned series of Second
World War novels featuring Sergeant Jack Tanner... James Holland, a
respected military historian, has produced a story authentic in
every detail
