‘The Man from Section Five’ is the latest historical thriller from the pen of multiple award-winning author Jana Petken. Without bogging the reader down in factual details from the pre-WWII period when the tale occurs, Petken does a superb job of relating the events of the time as a solid background for her fictional characters as these intermingle with real people of the mid-to-late 1930s in Britain. The story is about how a disaffected accountant is recruited by Military Intelligence, Section Five and his progress through his first few years with the Security Service. That alone is a fascinating tale, yet the author also expands the events into pre-war Germany as we follow the theatre actress daughter of a Scottish woman married to a German, who unknowingly harbors a secret that could cost her dearly should her lover, a German Intelligence officer, become aware of it.The book is not a quick read, yet boredom is banished by Petken’s mastery of fast pace, captivating characters, and the constant sense of impending doom she creates for her main characters. One factor that stands out for me in this tale is the profoundly atmospheric presentation of both pre-war Germany and Britain. The author’s skill in conveying the era and its incidents, present from the very first page, immerse the reader deeply into the affairs of the time without needing to be a history buff. I really enjoyed this novel, and was pleased to see that it is the first book in a new series, so, hopefully, soon we will have more of Brinley Knight’s escapades. If well researched, impressively presented and highly entertaining historical fiction is what you seek, you cannot go wrong with this novel. Very highly recommended!
