About this listen

Hitler is dead. A new threat is born... The brand-new blockbuster from 'the master of the wartime thriller' (FT)

Autumn 1945 - Off the east coast of England, a Japanese sub surfaces, unloads its mysterious cargo, then blows itself to pieces.

Former spy Professor Tom Wilde is enjoying peacetime in Cambridge, settling back into teaching and family life. Until a call from senior MI5 boss Lord Templeman brings him out of retirement.

A nearby village has been locked down by the military, its residents blighted by a deadly illness. No one is allowed in or out.

There are rumours the Nazi machine is still operational, with links to Unit 731, a notorious Japanese biological warfare research laboratory. But how could they possibly be plotting on British soil—and why?

What's more, Wilde and Templeman's names are discovered on a Gestapo kill list. And after a series of assassinations an unthinkable question emerges: could an Englishman be behind the plot?

A decent story

Interesting premise. A few twists. Odd pacing of significant events that are often over in less than a minute. But a good story nonetheless.

Enjoyed but too long

Good book, well read, just a bit of a slog as it took too long to get going and it wasn’t until about half way through that it became much more interesting

Great read

This book as with the others in the series are just great. A real door to another world and time. The sort of book as you see the end approaching you want to pull the hand break on so it does not end.

Another excellent book!

Astounding series of books. Definitely worth the wait for this book. Difficult to put down once started. I really do hope there will be more books in this series.

Historical gobbledygook

I’ve listened to each of these books in the series and each one detached further and further from historical reality. Does that matter? No - historical gobbledygook? Yes? Fun - certainly. Hope there’s a book 8

Interesting slice of history

Having enjoyed the series this book seemed a little far fetched or was it? It could have been! The history of fascism before/after the second World War is seldom told. If true I wasn't aware of the fascist movement in the USA.
The pace of delivery and accents by the reader was good, as it has been through the series. Lots of red herrings as there should be!
A good listen.
