A Failed Mission
Two weeks before D-Day, the French Resistance try to destroy a telephone exchange vital to Nazi communications. Heavily defended, the mission fails disastrously.
A Daring Plan
With invasion looming, Flick Clairet, a British secret agent, proposes a daring but perilous new plan. She, along with an all-female team – the Jackdaws – will infiltrate and neutralize the exchange before Allied Forces land in France.

Excellent listen.
A thrilling action packed abridged version of Jackdaws. From start to finish you are led on a terrific journey, brought to life by excellent narration. My only reservation is that it was short but sweet, and could have done with being an hour or two longer. Nevertheless, it's great.!

Follett does it again
A short rollercoaster of a story told the way only Ken Follett can. As you recover from one twist you are catapulted into the next right up to the explosive end. What a sad/happy ending,in the entire story it was the only bit I saw coming,or was that what l wanted at the end? Samantha Bonds voice and beautiful diction was perfect to tell this story.

Short but sweet
Great story, fast moving, very enjoyable. Just a little short for the price of a full credit .

Rehashed rubbish
Seems like follett was trying to earn a quick buck, lazily. I abandoned after two chapters.
