Summary

Conrad de Lancey has seen enough of evil: the shadow of fear on the faces of innocents; the sudden lull before the slaughter begins. Franco's bloody insurrection taught this Englishman all about hell.

Arriving in his mother's country, the now Nazi Germany, Conrad is sick at heart. Even Berlin—infamous haven of decadence—salutes fascism. Himmler's black-shirted troops rule the city, and every German arm bears a Swastika. But does every German heart belong to Hitler?

When Conrad is arrested by the Gestapo on suspicion of spying, he is rescued by Theo, an old friend from university, now a lieutenant of the Wehrmacht. Together they are drawn into a world of danger and deceit, of plots and paranoia where the brave few are united by a single ambition: to free the fatherland from the Führer.

A good but long story.

An engrossing story that did bumble along. The narrator was not my favourite, so that didn't help the story along. Pleased to have finish it.

Feel a traitor for abandoning this book

After over 3 hours in just wasn’t enjoying the book. Excellent reading of an author I follow. Just not for me.

Good listen

Sean Barrett is amongst the best narrators and makes this very listenable. Story reasonable, will look for further books by this author

Winning combination

My favourite narrator reading one of my favourite authors. The story itself is pretty good, with a reasonably satisfactory ending under the circumstances, and some good characters brought to life by Sean B. You know from the outset that the plot against Hitler cannot succeed, but he spins a good tale nonetheless.

Well worth the read

Loved the build up of the story but the end was an anticlimax to be honest
