About this listen

1943: Kurt Muller and a young colleague parachute into southern Germany to rescue a British-Canadian agent. The Allies have won the battle of the Atlantic, and German forces are retreating on all major fronts. The war in Europe is effectively over, but the Nazis will never accept defeat. An Abwehr deserter and member of the German resistance - the Black Orchestra - with a price on his head, Kurt quickly finds himself in a deadly race to prevent the Nazis from developing the first atomic bomb and changing the outcome of the Second World War.

Absolutely terrible, lol, especially towards the end of the story. It's almost like a "B" movie from the 1950's....and not even a good one. I had downloaded the next two books in the series.... they'll be going back. 😂

Terrible 😂.

Only the absence of "ve haff vays of making you talk" would have made this cliche ridden stereotypical rubbish worse than it actually was. Disappointing because the first novel in this series reasonably good

Spectacularly Awful

ok if you like crash bang wallop action books that are ridiculously far-fetched and have lots of plot-clichés but no subtlety. The story lurches from one setback/escape to another. I stuck with it in the hope that the finale would come good but it was a parody of a 1960s Bond film, including a ticking time bomb from which a histrionic bound female has to be rescued amidst a series of explosions. I laughed aloud at one point at the silliness of it. The first in the series seemed promising which is why the second is so disappointing. I won't be reading the next one. The narrator is quite good but the exaggerated accents and voices all add to the sense of parody.

very disappointing
