In the early morning hours of 6 November 1943, SS Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler receives the coded message he has been waiting for "The Eagle has landed."

It was to become known as the most daring enemy mission of the entire war: Operation Eagle, Himmler's audacious plan to kidnap Winston Churchill on British soil.

But, despite spectacular secrecy, there was to be no surrender without a fight ...

For in that remote corner of Norfolk, an elite unit is gathered together. Ready to do battle for a nation against the most ruthless task force ever assembled.

One of the most enjoyable books I have ever read/listened to. From start to finish the characters, the story lines and the included voices was just memorable. I am a Jack Higgins enthusiastic reader but I have just read this after so many others books of his, this being one of his best. It was my first Audible book as well and the voices of Peter Noble throughout were truly enjoyable right to the end. The final chapter topped it all!

One of the best novels I have ever “read”,
Well written and an amazing narration.
Had loved the movie as a kid and still do now, but it left out so much.
Highly recommend

Very entertaining Audio book. Importantly, you don't require an organisation chart to work out how each character is connected. In the same genre as Alistair Maclean
