In 1942, Leo Marks left his father's famous bookshop, 84 Charing Cross Road, and went off to fight the war. He was twenty-two. Soon recognized as a cryptographer of genius, he became head of communications at the Special Operations Executive (SOE), where he revolutionized the codemaking techniques of the Allies and trained some of the most famous agents dropped into occupied Europe, including the White Rabbit and Violette Szabo. As a top codemaker, Marks had a unique perspective on one of the most fascinating and, until now, little-known aspects of the Second World War.Writing with the narrative flair and vivid characterization of his famous screenplays, Marks gives free rein to his keen sense of the absurd and his wry wit, resulting in a thrilling and poignant memoir that celebrates individual courage and endeavor, without losing sight of the human cost and horror of war.

Absolutely super
Format: Kindle
Another great story set in the new Absolute Universe. I'm glad that we're getting new versions of the classic DC icons and not yet another rehashing of the same old origins. The differences in Kal-Els powers and his past are very interesting. I can't wait to see exactly what they are. This is the first DC work from Jason Aaron that I've ever read and I hope he writes this series for a good long time.

Of the characters in this story, I only know Superboy and Talon. I'm more than willing to give this new team a shot, though. For the most part, the story was entertaining and humorous. The art was, for the most part, pretty good. It was nice to read this book on Kindle Unlimited and not have to pay $15 for it. Will read the next one if it's available.
