A truly fine novelTotally absorbing and ingenious.Nelson DeMille On fire with suspense.Stephen King It is January 1944and as Allied troops prepare for D-Day, Nazi scientists develop a toxic nerve gas that would repel and wipe out any invasion force. To salvage the planned assault, two vastly different but equally determined men are sent to infiltrate the secret concentration camp where the poison gas is being perfected on human subjects. Their only objective: destroy all traces of the gas and the men who created itno matter how many lives may be lost. Including their own StunningFrom the very first page, Greg Iles takes his readers on an emotional roller-coaster ride, juxtaposing tension-filled action scenes, horrifying depictions of savage cruelty, and heart-stopping descriptions of sacrifice and bravery.

Unfortunately, this isn't the book for me. I gave it 100 pages and I still wasn't drawn into the story. I have too many books sitting on TBR to spend time with something I'm not enjoying.

It's odd how death often marks a beginning rather than an end.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

Holy crap, I just met Greg Iles, and he's awesome! He has been my favourite "adult" fiction author since I was about 13, and I've never gotten a chance to see him speak until now (some 20 odd years later)! His books are what absolutely turned me into the insane bookworm I am today. Today I was able to have him sign my very first paperback of his, which also happens to be my all-time favourite book, Black Cross. It's old & tatty, but I ? it!

Reecaspieces Did he tell you the story of writing Black Cross. There were almost no rewrites. He wrote it almost in one sitting and what you read is what you get. 8y

LeeannDunton @Reecaspieces No, he didn't talk about that! That's pretty incredible considering how fantastic of a book it is! 7y
