FLIGHT OF EAGLES

An old-fashioned framing device kicks off this rerelease: The author and his wife survive a rough plane ride on a stormy night. While recovering in a small inn, they hear a WWII yarn -- the tale of twin American brothers who fought for opposite sides in the war and the plan concocted by desperate Germans to take advantage of their resemblance. The switching of twins is a classic theme, but the skills of both author Jack Higgins and narrator Patrick Macnee keep the tale fresh and entertaining. Higgins's skill in recreating the war era makes this one worth catching up on. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 02]
