Buy XPD Reissue by Deighton, Len (ISBN: 9780586054475) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: A non-stop read - It was a great read: a labyrinthine plot, as expected, and an excellent twist at the end that could have been anticipated (but wasn't!). Review: Look after your archives ..or else.!! - Many fascinating historical details and very cleverly assembled . I did think at times as though some chapters seemed to leap about and not flow as well as they might. Maybe not a good idea to have Stuart as the surname of the main agent ..particularly when when being addressed by his boss ! For this reader ,I felt that although the ending could have been expanded a little, overall maybe it was 50 pages too long . Most effective were the East Anglian farm parts; short but vivid writing here. A good read for readers with some interest in WW2 events .

Confusion For This Reader.
This book was for me at least confusing. Having read many of this author's books I found the telling of the protagonists and the locations somewhat difficult to follow. Even when I reached the end (including the authors note I was left disappointed with the brevity of the demise of the plot

Back in the saddle.
For those who have read my comments on Billion Dollar Brian this is really engrossing. After such a long time away fro Deighton I feel I am back to a really good read. This book as most of his of the period is history as well as espionage in a difficult period in post WWII Europe.

Another good read
Another good read with an intriguing story line. A new twist to a well documented history. I can recommend it completely.

Complex plot with a lot of characters, but very interesting plot. Takes a few chapters to get going but then it's classic Deighton writing!

OMG He is the best fiction writer of the WW2/Cold War era. Engrossing. Historically accurate with first person sources. THANK YOU Mr Deighton!

Non ho Kindle. Ma mi sono trovato a ordinare un prodotto che non volevo assolutamente. E naturalmente non riesco a tornare indietro... Ed è impossibile trovare un pertugio per rinunciare... Anche questa è una recensione!!!

What a delightful writer. The subject and detail may seem a little dated now but this is still a thoroughly good read.

I was never quite sure who I was supposed to be rooting for in this not quite dull book that was overpopulated with two dimensional characters. I am a Deighton fan, but I would not call this one of his best…certainly not on the same level as the 'Harry Palmer' stories or 'Winter' or the Bernard Sampson books. Any of which would be a far better first time choice for someone who has never read this author.
