To live among wolves, first you must become one An unmissable new spy thriller from best-selling master of the genre, Alex Gerlis.

War is coming to Europe.

British spymaster Barnaby Allen begins recruiting a network of agents in Germany. With diplomatic relations quickly unravelling, this pack of spies soon comes into their own: the horse-loving German at home in Berlin's underground; the young American sports journalist; the mysterious Luftwaffe officer; the Japanese diplomat and the most unlikely one of all... the SS officer's wife.

Despite constant danger and the ever-present threats of discovery and betrayal, Allen's network unearths top-secret plans for a new German fighter plane and a truly devastating intelligence prize... an audacious Japanese plan to attack the United States. But can they prove it?

The race is on.

An unmissable and atmospheric Second World War espionage thriller, Agent in Berlin will grip you to the very end. Perfect for fans of David Young, Robert Harris and Rory Clements.

The recording is poor, the editing is amateurish, and the historical references are just wrong! All Germans sound like they have some sort of speech impediment. Two references to threaten to send the football team and a soldier to fight in the East in 1940 doesn’t really hold much of a threat seeing there wasn’t an eastern front until 1941!

Poor

I was enjoying this and then found it incredibly dull. Not much pace and lost interest in the plot. Disappointed

Started well

Hard to describe the narration, really. The words were read with clarity but were lacking intonation with some seriously strange accents. The story’s basis was good but lacked ‘bite’ and needed more adventurous sentences to convey the terror and horror faced by such agents at this time in world history. I stuck with it but wasn’t gripped.

Curious, odd, narration

My favourite sort of spy thriller. Berlin, WW2, brave spies gathering intelligence while being pursued by the Gestapo.

Gripping!

Alex Gerlis is a great author and the story is one that is very hard to leave. However, the narration is appalling. Firstly, when he is speaking as a character the voices he uses are terrible - I think of a mouse or a rat speaking. Also, an Englishman will pronounce Lieutenant as "Lefftenant" - not "Lootenant".

The narrator used for the Richard Prince series did a much better job!
