Riepilogo Editore:

Alla vigilia del suo matrimonio con il diplomatico americano Simon Lansdale, Nadia Keller, una giovane donna di origine svizzera, riceve l'inaspettata visita di un giornalista, Mark Spenser, venuto da Washington, con il compito di sottoporla a uno stringente interrogatorio. È il 27 settembre 1948, la guerra è finita da più di tre anni ma Spenser è interessato al ruolo che la donna ebbe, nelle zone di confine tra la Svizzera e l'Italia, durante il secondo conflitto mondiale come ex agente dell'OSS, l'Office of Strategic Service che durante il periodo bellico ebbe sede a Berna e che in seguito divenne la CIA.

Nella raffinata cornice del "Grand Hotel Villa d'Este" a Cernobbio l'uomo, che Nadia scopre essere inviato del governo degli Stati Uniti, la interroga sui suoi presunti rapporti con alcuni partigiani comunisti nei giorni che precedettero la cattura e l'uccisione di Benito Mussolini, sulla resa incondizionata dei nazisti agli alleati anglo-americani e, in particolare, sul ritrovamento e la misteriosa sparizione dell'immenso tesoro che Mussolini in fuga portava con sé noto come "L'oro di Dongo".

Nonostante le domande di Mark siano inopportune e capziose, Nadia, forte della sua buonafede, soddisfa la sua curiosità e gli racconta la storia di due partigiani comunisti, il Capitano Neri e la sua staffetta Gianna, combattenti nell'alto lago di Como dove parteciperanno alla cattura di Mussolini, alla conta dell'oro di Dongo che, ingenuamente, ritengono debba essere destinato al nuovo stato italiano.

Sceneggiato radiofonico liberamente ispirato al racconto inedito di Giampaolo Tarzi. Regia di Cesare Ferrario.

Cold War Era Classic

Would you listen to Trans-Siberian Express again? Why?

I read and enjoyed this book years ago and was curious to listen to it when it became available via audiobook; I wasn't disappointed. I would listen to it again after some time.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot in the book was excellent. Tense from the very beginning; the themes are of course from a different era set in cold war Russia but the story itself is very character driven and revolves around a few individuals so it's easy to get caught up in the tight story.

What does Mark Sando bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

This is the first book I have heard Mark narrate. He read clearly and well; didn't have any annoying traits which is a hugh plus for me. Mark is a great narrator; and I would certaintly listen to his narration again.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Blood on the tracks.

Any additional comments?

Was great to 'read' the book again in audio book form. It has held up remarkably well for a book which is now 40 years old. The settings the book is written in might no longer be the same to the human story and the cat and mouse game involved is every bit as relavant today. Brilliant book.

*I received this book for free in return for and honest review.

Suspense, cold war style

What did you love best about Trans-Siberian Express?

I loved the setting of the train and that's all your going to get since I don't do review with spoilers.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Excellent story, keeps you interested from the start

Have you listened to any of Mark Sandos other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but he is now on my list of narrators to watch for

As thrilling as it was thought provoking.

What made the experience of listening to Trans-Siberian Express the most enjoyable?

I thought the narrator was excellent, with good pacing and excellent pronunciation of people and place names. Although there was a large cast of characters, not once did I get lost as to who was who.

Publisher's Summary:

Having shot someone in the chaos of 1963 Berlin, Joe Wilderness finds himself locked up, with little chance of escape. But an official pardon through his father-in-law, Burne-Jones, a senior agent at MI6, means he is free to go.

His newest operation will take him back to Berlin, now the dividing line between the West and the Soviets. When the Russians started building the Berlin Wall in 1961, two 'Unfortunate Englishmen' were trapped on opposite sides. In 1965 there is a plan to exchange the prisoners on Berlins bridge of spies. But, as ever, Joe has something on the side, just to make it profitable.

A thrilling tale of Khrushchev, Kennedy, a spy exchange...and 10,000 bottles of fine Bordeaux.

Members Reviews:

Nearly gave this one back...

First Wilderness novel in any format. First quarter of the book I was finding it a bit irritating.

Whereas the author and the reader seemed to be English, the reader was very good at accents, the pronunciation was very odd in places. The story contained a lot of good period detail and references to really arcane (to Non UK readers) British facts and institutions. What rang untrue was the narrator referring to "missills" which all Brits would pronounce "Missyles", "Mos-cow", "Van Gogh" as "Van Go" etc. It seemed to be heavy handed editing on the part of the publishers. Also no references whatsoever to UK or GB; everything was "England" including a total inaccuracy "England is an island" (it isn't). I know this probably sounds pedantic but it blew my trust in some of the other detail.

I persevered, and I reckon if I had read a non US print version would have been very impressed.

Congratulations to the narrator on his singing a Russian folk song, although a pedantic Russian listener may not agree! Enjoyable book, I reckon I might buy a few more in this series.

Title: Moskva

Author: Jack Grimwood

Narrator: Daniel Weyman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 05-05-16

Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Moskva by Jake Grimwood, read by Daniel Weyman.

Moskva is a brilliantly written, chilling and sophisticated début serial killer thriller set in Cold War Moscow. Makes Kolymsky Heights look like a walk in Gorky Park.

Red Square, 1985. The naked body of a young man is left outside the walls of the Kremlin: frozen solid - like marble to the touch - and missing the little finger from his right hand.

A week later Alex Marston, the headstrong 15-year-old daughter of the British ambassador, disappears. Army intelligence officer Tom Fox, posted to Moscow to keep him from telling the truth to a government committee, is asked to help find her. It's a shot at redemption. But Russia is reluctant to give up the worst of her secrets.

As Fox's investigation sees him dragged deeper towards the dark heart of a Soviet establishment determined to protect its own, so his fears grow, with those of the girl's father, for Alex's safety. And if Fox can't find her soon, she looks likely to become the next victim of a sadistic killer whose story is bound tightly to that of his country's terrible past....

Critic Reviews:

Praise for Jack Grimwood: "Tom Fox is well drawn, the action scenes are filled with energy and tension, but the real hero of Moskva is Russia itself, bleak, corrupt, falling apart, but with an incurable humanity." (Tom Callaghan, author of A Killing Winter)

"A first-rate thriller - Moskva grips from the very first page. Heartily recommended." (William Ryan, author of The Twelfth Department) "A compulsive and supremely intelligent thriller from a master stylist." (Michael Marshall, author of The Straw Men)

'"Hard to know what to praise first here: the operatic sweep of this mesmerising novel; the surefooted orchestration of tension; or the vividly realised sense of time and place; all of these factors mark Jack Grimwood's Moskva out as something special in the arena of international thrillers." (Barry Forshaw, author of Brit Noir)

"Grimwood is a damned fine writer." (Independent)

Members Reviews:

Interesting

I enjoyed listening to this book, I liked the writing, turn of phrase and the narration. However I think that I would've perhaps got more out of it and understood it better in written form. I found the jumps between time periods confusing at times Also when people were refered to by either their first name or surname or title I found that confusing.

I generally enjoy a political/crime thriller however I did find this somewhat disjointed, again that could be the format rather than the writing.

Not for me

I found this book did not hold my attention. There seemed to be no story to follow. After several attempts to listen I have given up

Great Book

Great Book fantastic plot makes you think about how war can change individuals an effect events 40 years later

Don t bothet

Not really worth the effort... visceral with victims and a lot of confusing twists that don t hang togethet

Title: The Danakil Deception

Author: James Hopwood

Narrator: Julian Hankins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-25-16

Publisher: RadioArchives.com

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

When archaeologists at the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia - the hottest place on Earth - discover a ruby measuring six feet in diameter, the world's scientific community is thrown into a spin. But it's not only scientists who are interested in the discovery. In the wrong hands, the ruby could be used to power a terrifying weapon - a weapon that could change the fate of the world.

Meet Jarvis Love, the young operative assigned to investigate the find. Thrown into a harsh, unforgiving environment, Love finds himself battling a neo-Nazi with a diabolical plot to assassinate the top world leaders in one massive attack. The clock is ticking, and only Love can stop the madman.

Filled with hair-raising action and wild chases, The Danakil Deception is an edge-of-your-seat adventure that harks back to the great spy novels of the sixties, but infused with the high-octane punch of a modern thriller.

Members Reviews:

Espionage Fiction Is Fun Again ...

Continuing the adventures of neophyte British Agent Jarvis Love (The Librio Defection), author James Hopwood also continues to breathe new life into the espionage genre ... not only life, but fun. Too long have the dark and dreary, cynical sons and daughters of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold dragged espionage fiction into a soulless black hole. The Danakil Deception returns spy fiction to the cool vibe of the swinging sixties when martinis were served shaken not stirred.

There is action and coolness aplenty as Jarvis Love finds himself heading for the hottest place on earth, the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia, where scientists have discovered a ruby measuring six feet in diameter â its possibilities as a weapon sparking espionage agents from around the world into action.

Hopwood does a masterful job of capturing the harsh environments, villains lairs, evil megalomaniacs, plans for world domination, beautiful women, and hair-breadth escapes of the best Bond films, while also giving the story a modern sensibility in style.

Great stuff for anyone who enjoys high adventure thrillersâ

Great adventure story

I was hooked from the beginning of this novel. It had all the ingredients of a great adventure â distant and dangerous locations, secrets, lots of action and an array of very interesting good and evil characters.

Jarvis Love is a thoroughly likeable hero, although he does not see himself as a hero. He has integrity and fights tooth and nail when he has to.

The pace is fast but perfect. The authorâs descriptions of places, people and events made the story come to life and allowed me to easily visualize everything as it happened. I didnât skip a paragraph.

James Hopwood (David James Foster) is an excellent writer and Iâm looking forward to reading the next in the series The Ambrosia Kill.

Publisher's Summary:

Spring 1941: After 10 years spying for the Americans, Wolfgang Stahl disappears during a Berlin air raid. The Germans think he's dead. The British know he's not. But where is he?

MI6 convince US Intelligence that Stahl will head for London, and so Captain Cal Cormack, a shy American 'aristocrat', is teamed with Chief Inspector Stilton, fat, 50, and convivial, and between them they scour London. But then things start to go terribly wrong and, ditched by MI6 and disowned by his embassy, Cal is introduced to his one last hope - Sergeant Troy of Scotland Yard.

Members Reviews:

A good story

This is one of the first "Inspector Troy's". The story is split into two halves. The first part has an American Army Officer teaming up with a Special Branch officer attempting to locate a high ranking Nazi who has been spying for the Allies. This spy has escaped to London after the Nazi's discover his duplicity. He is hiding in London rather than coming into his Controller because he does not trust anyone.

The second part of the story is Troy's investigation into a several murders that occur during the search for the spy. The conclusion pulls the two parts together to result in a very satisfying read

A good solid historical procedural. Lawton will not disappoint, his stories are well written and appear to be historically accurate from what I can locate through reading other sources..

Outstanding writing

The only problem with reading a book by John Lawton is that it's almost impossible to find any other books that are as well written. I have tried and failed to get into 6 books since reading this one. Not a reason to avoid the book, but I must warn you. This man can write like almost no one else. The genre doesn't matter - this is top of the line writing.

Five Stars

Good read!! Good service on the delivery .

A Great Book - Again

Another excellent book by Mr Lawton.

While many of his contemporaries produce lightweight snacks, John Lawton's novels are always a main course.

Why ?

Love Lawton's style

Publisher's Summary:

On India's frontier with Tibet, peace is just a façade and security a myth.

The sleepy Himalayan hill station of Mussoorie, near India's border with Tibet, is home to an eclectic mix of residents including Tibetan refugees and former guerrilla fighters, foreign missionaries, Indian military, tourists, and spies. Here, in a top-secret facility facing the snow-clad Himalayas, India's legendary spymaster, Colonel Imtiaz Afridi, keeps a watchful eye on sensitive high-altitude borders. Having been a mountaineer in his youth, Afridi once climbed many of these peaks, including Rataban, a mountain with a treacherous history. When an American agent is shot dead in Mussoorie, both the CIA and India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), dispatch undercover agents to investigate. The American's death is quickly linked to the slayings of two Indo-Tibetan Border Police guards, suggesting possible Chinese infiltration. Working with Afridi is the brilliant junior analyst, Annapurna "Anna" Tagore, who helps him unravel these clues and other disturbing signs that something dangerous is brewing.

When more violent acts shatter Mussoorie's calm, the CIA and RAW have no choice but to team up. Soon Afridi and the young Indian and American agents are piecing together a bloody conspiracy of revenge and murder that could shake the very foundations of world peace.

Members Reviews:

An edge of the seat thriller!

Steve Alter has weaved an extremely gripping thriller with great mastery, the book saves the best twist for the end.

Most of the action in The Rataban Betrayal is largely set in Mussoorie and its immediate neighbourhood Landour.

The murder of an American missionary who is also a CIA agent and simultaneous killing of Indian border gaurds along the Tibet border stir things up in the small town & the Indian and the U.S. intelligence establishments are intrigued & perturbed enough to send undercover operatives to Mussoorie to investigate.

The Indian and American agents eventually join forces under the direction of the wheelchair-bound Colonel Afridi a retired army officer, former mountaineer and spy master. Afridi oversees the covert investigation from his high-tech HQ â the Indian army-run Himalayan Research Institute.

The agents and Afridi soon discover that the murders are part of a larger conspiracy.

Having lived in Mussoorie for years the author Steve Alter has an insiderâs view which adds heft to the book.

The plot moves quickly & the writing flows whilst being evocative and descriptive for the most, with an occasional dash of humour.

The reason that the reader stays on the seat's edge is because of the amazing mix of factual, historical & fictional sequences which are held tightly together.

Afridi is, in fact, the bookâs high point, its real hero â wise, decisive, loyal, hard as nails, but with his heart in the right place. Iâd love to read another Afridi adventure and so I suspect, would most readers.

Welcome Col Alfridi into your literary life!!

I could not put the book down. Stephen's creative use of familiar locations was transformed into an array of dramatic props for this fast paced novel. The story felt like a river kayak ride on a fast paced Himalayan mountain river sweeping through a complex array of boulders that produced enticing eddies on the side of a rushing torrent.
