    About this audiobook

    The Spandau Diary—what was in it? Why did the secret intelligence agencies of every major power want it? Why was a brave and beautiful woman kidnapped to get it? Why did a chain of deception and violent death lash out across the globe, from survivors of the Nazi past to warriors in this new conflict about to explode? Why did the world's entire history of World War II have to be rewritten as the future hung over a nightmare abyss?

      Isles is my new favorite author. However, This book, written in 1992, is long, drawn out and not one of Dick Hills best efforts. The German accents are way over the top.,there were so many undeveloped characters that none were memorable. This could have been easily a ten hour book and more interesting.

      If you like WWII thrillers, this is fantastic story. Great characters. The narrator is the best and the author is great.
      Highest recommendations.
    • 5/5
      This is a long book with many details and characters, and it's phenomenally good. I haven't read anything by this author so far that was anything but 5 star, but I still have many of his books to read. Spandau Phoenix is totally different subject matter than Mortal Fear, and yet the author makes every nuance so real.

      This story takes place around the time Rudolph Hess disappeared while on a secret mission, and also in the 1980s. It involves several countries and their top brass, and yet it's an engaging personal story, as well. It's one possible explanation of what happened to Hess and his double, a great thriller.

      If you like thrillers, read anything by this author. Then maybe read it again. This author's mind is way ahead of most of us.

      A very good "what if" tale. What if Rudolf Hess was never held in Spandau prison, but had a double who took his place? This story pits the English, Germans, & Russians against one another while simple folks suffer for the nations' need to protect their images. Not my favorite Greg Iles novel, but that is okay.
