Summary

With the end of the Second World War in sight, the Allies begin to divide up the spoils, and it proves to be a dangerous game. The British have become aware that the Soviet Union is intent on controlling Austria once the war ends.

Major Edgar is given the job of establishing an espionage unit in Vienna in order to track down Austria's most respected politician. But the feared Soviet spy Viktor Krasotkin is already embarking on exactly the same mission....

What I found very interesting and unusual is that such a tense thriller could have a gentle writing style and a story that was not action-packed. Rather, the details and pace seemed realistic (so not like Kiefer Sutherland's 24). Historically the description of the period and wartime Vienna was incredibly interesting and thought-provoking - as a reader I really felt I understood it and could almost experience it.

Very happy to have listened to this!

Gentle style but tense thriller!

The great thing about this series of story's are the characters, especially the spys. You can never quite tell if they will survive or not! You quickly form a "friendship" with your chosen character and then? Death catches up with them. Or you embrace the terrifying death of a criminal. Its just great listening and so much better with a good narrator. Another great story, looking forward to the next one.

Brilliant.

A good story spoiled by poor narration.
it sounded like the recording was made on the narrator's first read through. This was very disappointing as a result.

A good yarn badly read.

Enjoyable, easy listening. A little predictable at times. It felt like there was more to come at the end. However well read and researched. Worth a listen if you like spy novels.

Spy novel from 2WW. Well read and engaging story
