After both his parents are killed in a Nazi attack, Bill Edwards is as determined as a soldier can be to put a stop to the German war machine. Entrusted with a highly important mission, Bill and his best buddy Jim are sent to France to bring a scientist and his blueprints for a secret weapon back to England.

Sound easy? Well, not if you consider that the year is 1939, and the Nazis have just launched an offensive involving hundreds of thousands of troops across the French border. Full of non-stop action, treachery, spies, Gestapo agents, and high-speed chases, this story never slows down. If this story were a video, it would resemble SAVING PRIVATE RYAN on steroids.

The action was steady and the story was able to hold a reader's attention, though unbelievable at many times. The grammar is a problem, and several of the sentences could be worded differently for better clarity: it could definitely use some good editing. I think of myself when I was a teenager and was enthusiastic about war/action plots. I am guessing that this age group is the primary target of this adventure story.

This story starts out slow at first. Though once things get going it non stop action. It felt like what going to happen to these two agents. Though it was something. British Airmen have a mission to do but we are not told until they reach the France Resistance Though though out the whole thing they spect one person and they hold the spies with them think it the other person.

Things to got from bad to worse but how are the German getting the information Though things are getting more execting has the book goes on. Their original mission is failed though they get a new mission. The new mission is to save a person that is to land in England. I am so in to this book for it give you sence of what happening before the United States enter the WWII.

I am looking forward to find out more about this even though it part fiction and part fact. I am waitting to see if there another book to follow.

The Last Plane out of Paris is about two British pilots who are assigned to go to France and bring back someone who has designed an airplane that will give whoever has it an edge in the war. The Germans also want to capture this man. With the help of the French Resistance, the British must stay one step ahead of the Germans in their mission to escape France. The plot of this story is fast paced and exciting. Unfortunately, the numerous spelling mistakes found throughout the book are distracting. The airplane designer is referred to as Marcella, Marcel, and Marcela in the beginning, middle, and end of the book.
I won a review copy of this book from LibraryThing Member Giveaway.

This book reminded me of the serials I watched at the movie theaters when I was a kid. Yes I am that old. Much like the movie serials, the story is a bit light. The problem with short stories, there is not enough time to really develop characters. That is the case with this book which is really three or four installments. That being said, this is a story about a mission that really could have happened. It is worth your time to read it and you will not feel left down. My rating is really 3.5 stars.

Mr. Moxham knows how to write an old fashioned thriller. I almost saw some of our older actors dashing across WWII Europe doing battle with the Germans. While the book started out slow for me and too predictable at times the chase involving spies,traitors and love all in the midst of a war zone kept me coming back. I'm very glad Mr. Moxham selected me to get a copy of this book and I hope to read more of his works in the future.

An ok storyline, but terribly written. Hope the hard copy had some of the spelling and grammatical issues fixed because the e-version was brutal to read. Also, the character development was lacking. Would be interesting to read in a serial fashion like it was intended as opposed to all on one sitting.

Strange style like the author was in a rush and with heaps of odd phrases and typos like it had been hurriedly translated?? Story got a bit annoying after a while but I stuck with it. Obviously they want you to buy the next one but this was enough for me!!
