Ghost Station

By: Dan Wells

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

Berlin. 1961. Two months after the Wall. And the Cold War is threatening to boil over.

It is an especially uneasy time at The Cabin, a joint US-West German listening station. Its agents failed to see the Wall coming. And now the East Germans and their Soviet allies are making new, aggressive moves.

Then, CIA cryptographer Wallace Reed decodes the latest message from the double agent known as Longshore - and the crisis escalates. Has Longshore been caught? Suborned? Murdered? Or, the worst possibility of all - is he trying to send a secret code to a mole in Reed’s own office, sabotaging their intelligence and sending reports back to the other side?

Ghost Station is a tense thriller about espionage, cryptography, and paranoia, set in the earliest days of the Berlin Wall. Can Reed trust Longshore? His boss? His lover? Can he find the truth behind the lies - or will Berlin become ground zero for a world-ending war?

Dan Wells continues to prove he can do anything

Full of well-timed twists and surprises. If you like cryptography, historical thrillers, or good storytelling you should give this book a listen.

What a Great Story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this spy tale. It was exciting and full of unexpected plot twists and turns. Well worth purchasing! The narrator was great too.

Good book, overly dramatic

I liked this books plot and enjoyed the historical references. for me the performer was too emotional and loud/angry at times. I'd prefer a less emotional read with a more consistent volume. the downside of the plot was that it got a little far fetched later in the book, but that's only a slighter issue. I'd recommend it overall, but it's not going to make a list of my favorites because of the performance. I'm sure other people won't mind it though.

amazing

this was my first historical fiction read and it was fantastic. the reading did great and kept me engaged. Dan Wells did so great on his plot and the twist. I loved it!
