My initial reaction to this book was annoyance due to the abundance of characters and jumping from story to story.  The story was interesting though and eventually I got the characters straight in my head and enjoyed the book.  It takes place in the years prior to WWI.   The characters intermesh in a complex plot that entangles citizens of a variety of nations.  It is a people story, not action or a thriller but story about people.

Will was my favorite Character and not just due to his name.   His impulsive nature and perseverance resonated with me.

The conditions in the U-Boat made my palms sweat.

The political balderdash surrounding Will’s actions are indicative of the political nonsense that continues to this day.  Covering your butt, just doesn’t seem to change.

I recommend the Book.
