Editorial Review of Black Cross
It is January 1944. The whole world awaits the Allied invasion of Europe. But in England, Winston Churchill has learned that Nazi scientists have developed Sarin - a horrifying new weapon that could turn the tide for Hitler. Only a desperate gamble can avert disaster.
Two men - a pacifist American doctor and a fanatical Jewish assassin - must embark on a murderous mission into the heart of Germany. Their target: a human hell where Jews fuel Hitler's last hope for victory. Their only allies: a young Jewish widow fighting to save her children and a German nurse who is the image of Aryan perfection. Their orders: destroy the threat no matter how many lives are lost, including their own...

Review Summary: NOT the same calibre as other Iles texts despite glowing recs
Review: I grabbed this book with excitement, after reading some stellar reviews, thinking that it was of the same calibre as other Greg Iles books I've read. I am disappointed! The historical/WWII intrigue was fun, but the story lacked the complexity and depth of his other books. Moreover, the storyline was very predictable and typical for WW2 thrillers. I would NOT recommend the book to first-time Iles readers, nor to Iles fans.

Review Summary: An excellent book by Greg Iles
Review: Having read several books by author Greg Iles, I decided to give some of his earlier work a try. Black Cross is perhaps the best book he ever wrote. Set in the backdrop of a fictional concentration camp, Greg Iles combines page-turning suspense with interesting historical and scientific detail. Amazon.com was clearly the place to turn to for a copy of this novel published in the early 1990s. It was inexpensive yet in good condition. I have ordered dozens of used books through Amazon and they have all arrived in a timely manner and there have been no glitches with the transfer of payment. So...the book, the website, the transaction...the whole works has been a very satisfying experience and it keeps me coming back.

Review Summary: The evil of Nazi Germany
Review: portrayed brillantly in Black Cross. First Greg Iles novel for me. Certain sentences touched my inner core. ... "Mark felt a sudden magnifying of his own importance, like a subtle shift in the earth's gravitational field." I'm amazed with an author that writes as though he has personally been through the experiences of his characters. Thank you for a great novel.

Review Summary: Too much for me
Review: I really like Greg Iles' books, but this one was way too graphic for me. The very specific and lengthy concentration camp scenes and descriptions are not something that I can read. I have great sorrow and empathy for the cruelty, but I just can't read the details of it.
