Publisher's summary

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?

A 10 on the intense scale

I loved this book. From the very beginning it was intense. I expected a let down as most books do, this book did not. This book was perfect for the performance of Dick Hill’s. Greg Iles is a fabulous writer.

HIGHLY ENTERTAINING

I'd read a few of Greg Iles' Natchez series of books before picking up "Spandau Phoenix" and was not disappointed with the change of subject matter. Iles definitely did his research on the history of the Third Reich and the strange flight of Deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess to Britain in 1941. And, while the story here is fictionalized, it offers a version that, while fanciful, fits the evidence on hand to Iles in 1993.

While it may be looked down on by those who believe "great" literature the only type worth reading, if you are looking for a gripping tale of the most horrific and intense periods in all of human history then you this won't disappoint. It's a solid 4-stars and DIck Hill's narration is amazing as usual.

couldn't turn it off.

So thrilling, I couldn't turn it off. I've never been interested in Nazi history before. Now I've got to study up.

Great story, action, and historical staging

Fun listen. 20+ hours, lots of historical references weaved into an action filled story with plenty of heroes, villains, and bystanders made this a fun listen.

Highly recommended.

Terrific listen!

Iles is one of my favorite authors. Listening to Spandau Phoenix after all these years was a real treat. The narrator does a fantastic job, considering that he had to change accents rapidly---German, American, British, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Russian, South African...whew! Great job!

GREAT BOOK

After reading the Black Cross, Spandu Phoenix made a superb sequel. It was very fast passed and a lot of characters to remember but overall a very will written and narrated book.
