Add a CommentThe historical visit by Kennedy to pre-World War 2 Europe isn't convincingly developed in this thriller. Worse, Kennedy comes off as a "bozo" whose life is saved repeatedly by the brains, fast action and sacrifice of other 'operatives'. His 'love' interest with the femme-fatale is about as entertaining as a pair of dogs in heat. Can most people learn Morse code in 30 minutes? Don't read this book ... wait for the inevitable movie. It will be better.
