About this listen
Berlin, early 1948: The city, still occupied by the four Allied powers, still largely in ruins, has become the cockpit of a new Cold War, and as spring unfolds its German inhabitants live in fear of the Soviets enforcing a Western withdrawal. Here, as elsewhere in Europe, the legacies of the War have become entangled in the new Soviet-American conflict, creating a world of bizarre and fleeting loyalties, a paradise for spies.
John Russell works for both Stalin’s NKVD and the newly-created CIA. He does as little for either as he can safely get away with, and between the tawdry tasks they set him - assessing dubious defectors in Trieste, running a spy ring in a Berlin VD clinic, rescuing ex-Nazis who might prove useful from Czechoslovakia - he seeks a way to cut himself loose.
His partner Effi Koenen has an easier time, starring in a popular radio series and looking after their adopted daughter Rosa, until a woman she helped save in the War turns up on her doorstep, and admits to a child she left behind all those years before, a child now trapped behind the new iron curtain.

Good Book Bad Narration
I've enjoyed this series and the reader who read the books until this one. I had a difficult time following along especially when it came to who was talking or who was who. Hopefully book 7 will be better.

David Downing’s Station books 5 star quality.
Like everyone else who has listened to this book and written a review, I am also wondering about the choice of reader. I have rarely listened to anyone as bad. After five books by the same reader it was difficult to listen to a new voice.

The final book of reluctant spy in Berlin
This historical fiction is some of the best that I have heard. Unfortunately, this last book is read by someone not as good as that in the original earlier books prior to WWII, during WII and just after. However, it has an interesting twist of taking mostly in Prague and Vienna vs Berlin. If you like cold war spy thrillers, this is an excellent series overall.
