About this listen

In the fall of 1941, Anglo-American journalist John Russell is still living in Berlin, tied to the increasingly alien city by his love for two Berliners: his 14-year-old son, Paul, and his longtime girlfriend, Effi. Forced to work for both German and American intelligence, he's searching for a way out of Germany. Can he escape and take Effi with him?

Critic reviews

“With strong, vivid prose, the author maintains a high level of suspense throughout, and makes the reader care about his leads.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“This is a tense spy thriller that is particularly good at evoking the stark terror of living under the Nazis, and reminding us there was a German opposition to Hitler.” ( Euro Crime)

When looking for a new audio book, I sometimes look at other books read by my favourite narrators and so it was I came up with the David Downing "Station" set read by Simon Prebble. All three books in the series have been thoroughly enjoyable, the only thing that lets down Stettin Station being the numerous edits that have taken place and have been recorded with completely different audio settings, absolutely no bass whatsoever. So when one of these occurs, albeit short in length, Simon sounds like he's got his head in a toilet. There are so many of them too and it really spoils what would have been and excellent final book in the series. Shame.

A fine set of stories

What other book might you compare Stettin Station to, and why?

Very good story line. As good as the Philip Kerr series

spoiled by bungled recording

Excellent third book and the best of the three. They should be read in sequence to appreciate the development of the story. Awaiting the fourth, Potsdam Station.

Best of the three

Great stuff, I was through this in no time, very exciting stands up well with the preceding novels. The only issue here was that the quality of the recording was just as good.

Still Loving this Series

A good story from David Dowling which has been spoilt by a poor quality recording. The sound recording chops throughout to the point the recording sounds like two different readers, this recording was either done on the cheap or it was a Friday recording before everyone nipped off to the pub. Either way the publisher really did the book a disservice

another good story, sadly ruined by a poor recording
