This seems like a nice book. Plus the well-construdted review. However, this isn't my type of book at the moment. Still, thank you for your review.

This is an action-packed, crime-solving, mystery novel that contains rescue missions. I do enjoy reading an action-filled book with a catchy title and unique book cover. I also found the wording and writings in the book very impressive.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting spy story surrounding WWII following two Australian soldiers that area assigned to military intelligence in Cairo to combat the Nazis. It was definitely worth a second look. Well done.

This book sounds like it's full of a lot of action. I've never heard of this book or the others before it. But your review makes it intriguing to read. I agree that a racist word should not be used to describe the female. Great review.

Stories involving investigation can be so amazing, however, one has to be careful while dealing with a murder case.

The twist in this book is very thick. From trying to rescue a kidnap colonel to realising that there was a mistake in Identity. I wonder how the twists were unknot.

The cover of the book caught my eye. This seems like an intense adventure filled with action. I'd like to learn more about the Warramunga Aboriginals and Sarah's tracking skills in the jungle of Malaya. Thank you for the outstanding, comprehensive book review.

The title and review summary of this book has piqued my interest. I hope Colonel Johnny is found. I look forward to knowing more about the Malayan jungle. Great review.
