A great story concept with extraordinarily two dimensional characters.  Yes it should be a movie!  There are lots of action scenes along London and maybe additional writers and actors can breath some life into the characters!

It seems like Herbert was writing a screenplay more than a book. Fun summer read, anyway.

In 1945, Hitler unleashes the Blood Death on Britain as his final act of vengeance, what a great what if? Not his usual spooky stuff but a good apocalyptic horror instead.

Good book. Fast. Low character development, but fun read.
