I'm a bit interested on Jacko, I'm not yet finish reading. Just the first few pages...

I would say Yvette, it's not an easy feat to have gotten the information of the transceiver and secret codes from the German's.

To some extent Jacko was my best spy. He's the type that has efficient skills and could blend so easily.

Spy is very dangerous, but full of adventure sometimes. There are many spies in the story from the opponent and the defense. Who is your bet? Why?

My bet is Jacko. His techniques are simple, yet very useful.
The spies all have their unique techniques for doing their job.
Sarah is able to penetrate in and out without being detect. She's proactive and fast.
But Jacko is my best spy. His ability to blend in and trick out information makes a perfect spy.

Jacko is the best spy. Even his colleague Jamie appears amused by his tricks in fighting and getting at the detractors. The manner he tricks Matt and his gang is exhilarating.

The idea that the novel of Charles Dickens "A Tale of Two Cities" is not just that but a whole lot more is very interesting.

I was trouble in choosing the best one between them. Jacko's winning ability for me is his skill in interacting and blending in with people. Sarah came second, although it's not much of a gap between them. What was lacking in Jacko for you that made you choose Sarah by the way?
I don't think it was that Jacko was missing something, but more that Sarah must have had this amazing courage to go in by herself, naked, and rescue 2 women without being seen at all. Any of the men in that cave could have killed her in a heartbeat.

Oh that scene! I agree that that one was the best one yet as her mission. She displayed such courage and intelligence in that mission alone.

My favorite spy and the best pick would be Sarah. I mean her skills her natural. No training could ever make one possess the wonderful skills she had.

Being a spy is a really tough job. So, I would like to vote for a female one and my vote goes for, Sarah

Yes! Jacko seemed to be a fast-thinker in situations. His mind immediately adjusts well in everything he do or everything that is happening to him. I liked that part as well! :)

Perfect answer for Jacko! His character helps me develop useful strategies for I'm not that kind of person who is really observant in situational based.
