Review: Another Fantastic Fedora Spy Novel
Rating: 5 out of 5

I really think I'm becoming too attached with Desmond Cory's literary works. This is my third read of the Fedora spy novels. I read his previous Fedora books, Dead Man Falling and Undertow. Even though they share the same main character and theme the plot is never the same. Every book has its own story to tell, everything is connected and as a reader I get to build up my own perception towards Johnny Fedora.Different readers have different point of views towards the main character, and I think this is something a reader should look forward to because Spy novels can be as thrilling or can be as dull depending on the level of connection between the readers and novel. Secret Ministry the combination of Hitler as the main protagonist and Johnny Fedora is one epic novel that I wouldn't dare to miss. The plot was set in London, where Hitler's hideout was hidden. Fedora is assigned to infiltrate the hideout and destroy it no matter what it takes before another assault from Hitler's minions arises.Cory really has a good taste in plot and characters. Spy novels can be cliche at times but if combined with a great story line and interesting villains, readers will never know what's coming. Waves of anticipation get to build up every time I read a Desmond Cory novel. He always brings a handful of excitement to my literary fixations.
