About this listen

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.

There’s nothing wrong with the narrator. He has the accent that could belong to a public school alumnus and that’s what the character is. Anyway, the whole thing is perfectly good.

Enjoyable

I struggled with this book, I didn’t feel it was a story as such, I could see I wasn’t going to get an ending so to speak. I will listen to the next books in the series if only to get an ending! I get some of the narration comments, there were times I felt lost in in the narration of what was happening

Struggle a little

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!

Please get this recorded with someone else!

This is the first of the “Woolpack” series and it’s a great story. The German accents used by the narrator are sometimes a little overdone and therefore amusing, but they don’t detract from a very well constructed and absorbing narrative. I really enjoyed it.

Great audiobook!
