Summary
Jackdaws by Ken Follett is an irresistible novel of the French Resistance, love, courage and revenge set in the Second World War, read by Emilia Fox, who expertly brings the story to life.
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.
A Race Against Time
However, unbeknownst to Flick, Rommel has assigned a brilliant spy-catcher – Dieter Franck – to crush the French Resistance. And now Franck is closing in . . .

true story but poor narration
This is based on a true story split by the unintentionally hilarious accents employed in the narration.

Jackdaws
Slow to begin and the narrator didn't help but totally changed as it went on. Emily Fox became very interesting and the book excellant!! Wonderful detail as usual and really brought home how brave people can be, working secretly to help save lives. Ken Gillett excellent as usual.

had the makings of another great Ken Follet story.
The narration was poor. She would be better performing romance novels. Very disappointing. The characters voices were almost laughable. Sam West or Jonathan Keeble would have been better

Worth ten stars
If i could give ten stars I would. Thoroughly gripping, realistic characters with immense courage: as shown by the real SOE heroes of WW2.
Thank you for writing this.

Love this author!
Ken Follett’s books work well in audio form. This is the third one I’ve listened to and it was just as good as the others. Great performance also!

Incredibly Credible.
Totally gripping, and incredibly credible. For me, at least, the very best Follett of this genre yet.

Excellent!
Great storytelling as usual from Follet. Brilliantly read, tense, dramatic and thoroughly riveting. I was gripped from start to finish.
