About this listen
An Amazon Charts best seller.
A former Legionnaire had been working as an investigative journalist in Paris. He meets a mysterious American, of Jewish and Latino descent, by chance when the latter sails into a quiet fishing village nestled in a remote Andalusian bay in Spain. The yachtsman, also a former French Foreign Legionnaire, explained that he had been working in private security, and he tells a story that dates back to the dark days of Nazi Germany and it at first seems to be fictitious. However, the journalist began to question what he had been told.
The mystery of the violent deaths of an elderly Swiss gentleman and his two gamekeepers in a lonely house in the English Shires serves as the catalyst unravelling an international political and terrorist conspiracy. The various strands of the frightening story begin to come together. What follows is a life-and-death hunt for a secret that had its birth amid the destruction of Berlin in 1945.
There are those within the spy and security services of the Middle East, Europe, and the United States who struggle to come to terms with the enormity of their theories. Others within the corridors of political power wish to prevent that secret from seeing the light of day. They will stop at nothing to reach that aim. Who are the traitors?
The suspense novel was described as reminiscent of The Odessa File and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. A former US Navy man described the See Glass thriller as having a style which "...is very Tom Clancy". Exciting storyline with real-world events as a backdrop. Another Clancy trademark you have is utilizing real-world existing/former agencies and military units." This book begs the question - "Is it fiction?"

"If ever a novel was ready to be made into a feature film it is this one...it has all the ingredients for the big screen.... You know the kind of film I mean? The ones that usually star Harrison Ford or Liam Neeson...." (Jeremy Ransome, Editor, Spalding Guardian)

Super exciting - surprises in every chapter
I loved this book and couldn't turn the light off because I needed to know what the next twist would be. Although an adventure book it's firmly rooted in reality and you can see how it could be an explanation for the weirdness of the past years. I thoroughly recommend this book if you're looking for a rollicking adventure with a completely unexpected finale.

FANTASTIC
An intricate story with a lot of threads that run through the book. You could almost believe that the story was true. The prologue is a very clever start to it all and that marries up nicely with the last few chapters. The narrator is easy to listen to and he seamlessly jumps from American to Russian to French etc characters. I thought it was easy on the ear and interesting though you do have to concentrate as there are clever plot twists which you need to listen out for. Overall - great!

Fantastic story
The story and the characters grip you. It’s really well written and had me hooked.
The narrator is truly appalling though. He has a very stilted and unnatural way of reading so often gets the emphasis wrong or puts pauses in the wrong place and this can really throw you. Also, he is truly ignorant and abominable when it comes to accents and pronunciation. It made me quite angry for the author of such a great book that audible had completely ruined is work by being lazy when it comes to producing an audio version.
This is a first class book but is, disappointingly, read in a very uneducated and illiterate way. Not an intelligent narrator at all. My advice would be to read the book rather than listen to it, unless they get a different narrator.
