One Clear Call

The Lanny Budd Novels, Book 9

De: Upton Sinclair

Narrado por: Bronson Pinchot

As D-Day approaches, an American spy is unmasked by Himmler’s Gestapo and must flee the Nazis, in this novel in the Pulitzer Prize-winning historical saga.

In 1943, the once-unstoppable Nazi war machine is starting to falter. For a decade and a half, Lanny Budd’s cover as a fine-art dealer and Fascist sympathizer has held firm, earning him the confidence of Hermann Göring and other top officials, including Adolf Hitler himself. With the Allies preparing to retake Europe, Lanny must make certain that the location of the invasion remains hidden from the Nazi high command. But his mission is compromised and his life endangered when Heinrich Himmler, Hitler’s feared Gestapo chief, uncovers Lanny’s true loyalties.

Now FDR’s most trusted spy must run for his life, escaping into the European countryside with Hitler’s executioners on his trail. His survival will require great courage, endurance, and ingenuity, but Lanny Budd is determined to live long enough to witness what he has waited so many years to see: the final collapse of the Third Reich.

One Clear Call is the thrilling ninth installment of Upton Sinclair’s Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatization of twentieth-century world history. An astonishing mix of adventure, romance, and political intrigue, the Lanny Budd Novels are a testament to the author’s singular talents as a storyteller.

Upton Sinclair saw So Clearly

This 9th Lanny Budd book is yet another visionary text. The Sinclair is writing about history – it’s correlation to the present is remarkable. I find the stories of both the free French and the German underground to be very similar to those of us who refused to be locked down for Covid and were absolutely not going to take the mandated experimental vaccines. It's easy to see the FDA, the CDC, the WHO, big Pharma is the Nazis. The battle for freedom will never end as long as capitalism rules the world. I spend much of my time trying to figure out how this beautiful planet can be made into the garden of Eden. It should be – but can never be as so many people believe that making money is more important than making friends. There is no way to get people in power who won’t go bad. as long as I live, I will continue trying to figure out how Gaia can be properly respected, seeing as an organism itself – and us people taking our rightful place in the order – not on top of it.
