Seymour at his best,a well developed plot, characters entirely believable. and enertaining from start to finish. I can't remember reading this author and having been bored, again Seymour at his best

Well written, brings to light a page in history little known in the West. One would have to suggest this campaign may well have been a reason for Japan not entering the war against Russia, this in spite of Hitlers frequent requests. Once again highlights the preparedness of the Russian military to sacrifice all in defence of the Motherland. It has been suggested it kept Zukov out of Stalins way during the great purges of the late thirties. Well done the author and narrator

What battle? In the beginning I thought this book would be a winner I was very wrong. I found it to be a mish mash of a good many books dealing with the Eastern front (WW2) For the main and comparitively speaking, it adds nothing perhaps, detracting from previous references. Suggest readers give this one a miss.

This book is definitaly a five star edition; overall performance excellent,narration superb, characters strongly created, plot keeps you enthralled. I think I averaged some six to seven hours a day listening, literally hard to put down. I guess you could say I could not fault this book.
To the author, well done that man

I HAVE NOW PURCHASED THREE ALEX BERENSON BOOKS, SHADOW PATROL, THE FAITHFUL SPY AND THE NIGHT RANGER. I HAVE BEEN VARIOUSLY IMPRESSED, ENTERTAINED BY THE FORMER TWO. HOWEVER THE NIGHT RANGER WAS DISAPOINTING IN THE EXTREME; THE PLOT RAMBLED, THE CHARACTERS WERE WEEK, IN ALL, VERY SHALLOW INDEED.

AS FAR AS THE PLOT IS CONCERNED, THE READER HAD TO KEEP UP WITH VARIOUS CHANGES OF LOCATION,CHARACTER MOOD AS WELL AS ALMOST OVERPOWERING DETAIL. CERTAINLY NOT WHAT I HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM THE AUTHOR

I gave up on this book one of those books that you should enjoy, a competent author reaosnably narrated but doesn't entertain, inform, or hold ones interest.

This is my second attempt to write this review. To begin, this is an inciteful book o great compassion, a deep sense of empathy. A story of a substantial sense of the importance of life, indeed a passion for life, how else could servicemen in this position for an extended time maintain a stoasim such that he could find the strength to carry on living? I found this book to be informative, and timely. Certainly it records events that took place some seventy years ago but surely it reminds us all, of the courage of all allied servicemen who found themselves in such an apauling situation. Well done the authors and narrator

A stimulating book, well written, and very well narrated, The book is uncomprimsingly violent, but then these are violent times, and one feels the author has captured the time. The characters are well drawn and the lead character evokes sympathy, but on reflection one wonders why, he has few redeeming features for the main, and his "haunting" seems to be entirely justified. The politicians on both sides of the conflict demonstrate a complete lack of social morals, the combatents are mindlessly violent . This book I feel is thought provoking but at the same time disturbing and well worth the listen

I felt this was very ordinary, characters were not strong, plot took a long time to develop. In short I don't think I will follow this author

This is a true classic While the explanation of the time and space relationship is reletively unsophisticated, the book remains a great story. I read this initially a long time ago but was pleased and entertained in hearing it again.

Very readable and performed well. Frankly I did not feel it lived up to many of the reviews. Well read and the story flowed. Worth a read.
