Book review - "The Eagle Has Landed" by Jack Higgins

 Splendid book. Really terrific storytelling. Bold idea well worked out, plenty of twists and obstacles. Benefits from slightly unusual angles eg IRA working with Germans, British Free Corps soldiers, Channel Islands in wartime. There's a superhero honorable German, a superhero honorable German - these were more novel then. A nubile seventeen year old girl who just wants It. This is less good. Still, a great yarn.
