Summary
Hitler is dead. A new threat is born... The brand-new blockbuster from 'the master of the wartime thriller' (FT)
Autumn 1945 - Off the east coast of England, a Japanese sub surfaces, unloads its mysterious cargo, then blows itself to pieces.
Former spy Professor Tom Wilde is enjoying peacetime in Cambridge, settling back into teaching and family life. Until a call from senior MI5 boss Lord Templeman brings him out of retirement.
A nearby village has been locked down by the military, its residents blighted by a deadly illness. No one is allowed in or out.
There are rumours the Nazi machine is still operational, with links to Unit 731, a notorious Japanese biological warfare research laboratory. But how could they possibly be plotting on British soil—and why?
What's more, Wilde and Templeman's names are discovered on a Gestapo kill list. And after a series of assassinations an unthinkable question emerges: could an Englishman be behind the plot?

very enjoyable
I've read all the previous books and this story was just as good. The narrator was excellent and I'd definitely look now for other books he's narrated.

Gripping
Fantastic narration by Adam Sims.
The clipped dialogue and cultural references creates a wonderful 30’s and 40’s vibe.
I love the Tom Wilde series and this one is up there with “The man in the bunker” as the best yet.
Thoroughly recommended.

Enjoyed but too long
Good book, well read, just a bit of a slog as it took too long to get going and it wasn’t until about half way through that it became much more interesting

The honourable Tom Wilde
Another solid outing by a very consistent author. The only downside is will we ever have more Elizabethan adventures?

A good historical War thriller.
I liked the characters and the narration was good. That’s not faint praise because I have very high standards for the narrators of my audio books so I can definitely recommend this book.
It’s historically pretty accurate too which pleases me as a bit of a WWII buff.

Fantastic series
I can’t recommend this series enough. I just love the stories and how the author brings together a simple, but fast paced thriller. More of Tom and Lydia Wilde please

Incredible story, incredible narration.
This is the first book I have listened to written by Rory Clements. Safe to say that I enjoyed it, and will now go and listen to/read the rest of the series. The narration was great, and really put me into the world.

Another super Tom Wilde story
I think this is my 6th Tom Wilde book by Rory Clements and again it has not disappointed. If you like modern historical tales, with heroes, villains, fantastic storylines and a superb performance by Adam Sims, then this is the book for you!
It’s just a joy to listen to, with great characters, some from previous books, and a plot which keeps you hooked right from the start.
A very definite recommendation!

Another great installment of Tom Wilde
I love the series, this one I felt closed lots of doors but opened some new ones which make me believe another could be on the cards, I could listen to the narrator and this series of books all day every day.
Combining my interest in ww2 with some good old espionage thriller writing, it's an amazing combination.
