THE SPECIAL COLLECTION

The story begins in 1945 when British agent Stephen Felinski parachutes behind German lines in an attempt to help distrusting Soviet agents overthrow Nazi Germany. Peter Noble narrates this complex story of espionage in crisp stiff-upper-lip British tones. Noble increases his pace during the emotional or tense scenes, and his Russian accents are deep and gravelly. Decades later, Felinski is called upon to foil a Soviet plot to disrupt the British economy. Working with American intelligence agents, Felinski must sort out the players, including his former Soviet contacts, each with his own motive to stay in England or destroy the empire. Noble's reading, steady and assured, draws listeners into the chilling machinations of Cold War intelligence agencies. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2016]
