Spycraft – Katipo Joe #2 – Brian Falkner

In Spycraft, Falkner’s masterful telling of the astonishing journey of Joseph St George (Katipo Joe) continues. A teenage boy recruited by MI5, is this time on a mission to infiltrate an elite group of Hitler Youth. Joe travels to Germany, to the very heart of the Nazi spider web, where Adolf Hitler is making plans that will change the course of the war, and the course of Joe’s life. In a world where one wrong word could bring catastrophe, he must compete with the other young people for a prize beyond his wildest dreams. But the consequences of failure are torture and death. From the war-torn skies over Germany, to the heights of the Eagle’s Nest, this is Joe’s story. Set amidst actual events, Joe’s story is once again a tale of incredible heroism, unlikely romance and unbearable tragedy.
