He have a brave character in the story like his name. I wonder how he didn't make any noise when attacked by some insects. Insect bite is so itchy and painful. Really, he is very enthusiastic.

Even his looks as well blends as an Egyptian or Indian because of his "half blood race" of being an Aussie and Aborigines.

Plus, she's a woman. Her looks are as deadly as her intelligence and prowess. Though I liked Jacko, I can't deny that Sarah has the upper hand in deceiving the enemies. Also, she has the physical ability to do her job well and fast.
Both the siblings have the same guts. I even wonder if Aborigines were really like that.

The opinions people seem to have on this book differ greatly from my first impression. Maybe I might also give it a go.

I think Sarah might even have a bigger potential as a spy than Jacko if she had undergone education and military training. Their culture was a big help as well. I also admired Fifi and Yvette as spies as they know their strengths as women and they use it to their advantage. It takes bravery and a lot of courage to become a spy and those girls definitely have those qualities.

I noticed it, too. The owl hoot is pretty amazing. I can't do it. Hoping to know this owl hoot. I really laugh when an owl also hoots back.

Jacko is incredible, but mind that it was easier for him to blend in because they were in Egypt. What I liked best was the cooperation between him and Jamie. Sarah, although not a spy per se, indeed has some amazing skills. I guess anyone is a good spy compared to "the Krauts" ;)

You're right! So brave girls. Even if they experience being in a dungeon still, they managed to cover the MI6 group. They remain loyal even in difficulties.

Jamie's leadership is absolutely great. He is a loyal buddy to his savior in war.

I see, but if you don't like World War 2 key points, you will got confused. As you read further, the better. I bet, you will enjoy.

I agree. He is adoptable in every situation they are in. His race and culture brought-fort an awesome upbringing.

Jamie's opinion for choosing him as a trustee companion in Cairo resulted with a work of excellence. So tensed on their mission trying to decode the Hallicrafter.
