An interesting book which gives a face to familiar names. I wish I had read the books in sequence .as I felt I was missing the back story.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and having studied the history of medicine at school in 1995(!) it has reminded me of some of the things I learnt. The penicillin storyline has spurred me to do more research into the history and true life events of this wonder drug.

I did feel at times the book moved very fast and it would have benefitted from more dates being mentioned to appreciate the jumps in the timeline. Perhaps it could have even been spun out into two separate titles as D-Day hardly seemed to be mentioned and I felt more depth could have also been added to other aspects of the storyline such as the ferrying of planes in the UK by women.

I am sorry that the series has ended and hope that the author explores doing more books of this nature in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and of course the author for allowing me to read and review an Arc copy.
