Excellemt!. Noooo! It can't end like this. Our hero wounded and heartbroken while his beloved Caitlin casts him into outer darkness! After Downing's masterly Berlin series this book was a leap of faith, both for him and us. Would we care about Jack McColl in the same way we had grown to love our John Russell and Effi Koenen? Yes. Absolutely. The brilliant combination of quality historical research, skilful scene setting and understated, honest characters that made the Berlin sequence so compelling is brilliantly developed here in 1914. McColl has the same heartfelt idealism hidden under the skin of a clever, but not too clever, man of his time. And Downing's ability to evoke an era in places long since lost all over a world rapidly shrinking in the light of an advancing modernity is incomparable. This new work is a tantalising beginning to a new set of people, places and events to be savoured.The wait until the next book will be almost unbearable Reading the e-book has the added pleasure of being able to immediately do the side research into historical incidents that illuminate a time, an era and a world-view long since disparu. This book is excellent. A great read, and the beginning of a new humanist hero's journey. Long may Jack McColl run, hopefully avoiding the assassin's knife, or gun, or the perils of heartbreak for the agent of intelligence. .

DISSAPPOINTED. I've read all his others to great joy and satisfaction, but this just didn't do it for me. It started very slowly and never really picked up steam. The whole read was very disconcerting.

Did David Downing write this book?. After reading all of David Downing's Station books I was really excited to start a new series. But this does not seem like the same author. This book is more of a history book and travelogue than a novel. There is almost no plot but a series of episodes with casual mention of unrelated historical events in 1913. Then for no particular reason the events take place in China, San , Francisco Mexico, Ireland , and London. The book is boring, David Downing can do better.
