Customer Reviews

Good story - good book.

This novel was prehaps the best non-fiction novel i've ever read in my life. the double-plot was amazing and I loved this book. I rebought it for my last copy fell apart. I also bought the two novels that followed this novel.

Pontowski is the man

I have read several of the author's books on the Pontowski family. I enjoyed everyone and this book was great.

call to duty

Not his best,but don't pass it. Plenty of action & story line!

Not bad.

"Call to Duty" was not bad as novels go. The idea of the two parallel plots, one in WW II and the other in the present-day, was an interesting concept, and each of the two plotlines on its own was excellent, however the constant switching between the two in the text did get a bit tiresome. A great insight into the background of Herman's characters, with favorites from The Warbirds, Firebreak, etc. A must-read for Richard Herman fans.
