About this listen

Trapped at a desk job, Charlie Muffin uncovers a deadly KGB plot

Charlie Muffin is too good an agent to be working a desk, but after a bust-up with his new director, he has been relegated to clerk work. Among the heaps of papers, though, Charlie stumbles upon the clues to a last-gasp plot from the collapsing Soviet Union. The signs point to a new Soviet Star Wars system - and to the involvement of a British traitor.

Or do they? After all, the KGB wants one more chance to eliminate their old adversary Charlie. When the agency discovers his involvement, it sets a nasty trap. As the Soviet regime crumbles, it could take Charlie down with it.

wonderful reading of a great story makes this series a joy to listen to . Charlie is not a very nice man but you want him with rather than against you . The characters are really well defined and the twists can be unpredictable. Never disappointed.

really really addictive

A divergence from the usual Muffin tale but he gets into as much trouble. Good to read that "come uppances" are duly doled out.

very enjoyable and different

This series ramps up with the East v West tension. Fantastic narration and dramatization adding bucket loads to the pace, plot and suspense. Love how the author has kept Charlie constant in characterization and manner, matched by how he is performed. Red herrings abound in possibly the most complicated, yet enjoyable plot I've ever encountered in one book. The codes and spy-craft are no match for Charlie.

Anyone who has enjoyed Le Carre will enjoy these tales. VERY ENJOYABLE

Great story but the delivery is becoming more comical with every episode.

If you ever wanted to know what happened to the perpetual bad guy being foiled by those pesky kids in Scooby Doo, and baron bin Greenback from Danger Mouse, you need look no further!

These outrageously stereotyped caricatures are almost addictive in their kitschiness but the female interpretations are embarrassing.

They do add humour, though perhaps for the wrong reasons. Having said that, I would never be able to do a fraction of what Napoleon does so I still have full admiration for the skills involved with narrating these stories.

Isslay Malt gets me every time
