About this listen

Summer, 1940. Hitler's army is advancing towards Paris, and millions of French civilians are on the run. Amidst the chaos, two British children are being hunted by German agents.

British spy Charles Henderson tries to reach them first, but he can do it only with the help of a 12-year-old French orphan.

The British secret service is about to discover that kids working undercover will help to win the war.

This is a fab book, I love all of the Cherub and Henderson boys series. The narrator is nice to listen to and reads well, however I did have to slow it down to 0.8x speed. I usually listen to books slightly sped up, but this guy seemed like he had places to go and people to see and sprints through the whole thing!

Works well slowed down and doesn't sound strange or distorted or anything, so the bottom line is if the sample speed puts you off (as it nearly did me) just keep in mind that it's perfect slowed down a little :)

Great read but needs slowing down.
