| High on a rocky crag on the west coast of Scotland stood Whitecrest |
| House, home of the Mackay family of Strathfiddich. Over the centuries |
| its grim, stone walls had looked down on many tales of bravery, mystery |
| and intrigue. |
| |
| Now, in the Second World War, it was being put to a peaceful purpose - |
| a boarding school for boys. But what the boys didn't know was that |
| under their feet, in hidden cellars and dungeons, was another kind of |
| school, where the students had names like Kurtàand Hansàand Ernstà |
| Introduction |
| |
| The Ed and I have often wondered why espionage |
| stories are slightly more difficult to do in Commando's format, |
| compared to traditional military action -difficult, but not impossible |
| as this book certainly is a success. The main bugbear is that spy tales |
| tend to involve a variety of people standing in shadows, talking to |
| themselves (usually explaining the plot) in lots of "thought balloons"; |
| and then we might have several pages of more explanations, sometimes |
| done in flashback. All of this is fine, of course, but can grate a |
| little over 63 pages. |
| |
| However, this yarn is thoroughly entertaining, with lots of incident |
| and interesting characters - ensuring that School For Spies is a class |
| act. Top marks all round! |
