Not sure if expected different or it was just not my thing. Even with the jumps back n forth in time, i wasn't interested in the setting, except for the New York desc iptions, others have done better in the 'nazi/war' space.
I normally like Matthew Reilly's novels for the action and this is fairly good here. This book has missed the mark, both with the characters, who had little depth (even the lead) and his writing in the female voice. I kept hearing a middle aged man speaking.
