Bombshell

De: Barbara Collins, Max Allan Collins

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki, Gabrielle de Cuir

In an attempt to soothe growing Cold War tensions between America and Russia, Premier Nikita Khrushchev visits the US to see all that his “enemy” has to offer. Top of his to-do list? A trip to Disneyland and an introduction to sexual icon Marilyn Monroe.

Thanks to the impossible security requirements, Disneyland is out of the question. Marilyn, on the other hand, jumps at the chance to put on a show for the Russian official. During her appearance, she overhears the details of an assassination plot designed to spark an atomic holocaust and devastate both superpowers. When the Secret Service refuses to believe her, Marilyn risks everything to whisk Khrushchev away to safety—in the happiest place on earth.

With US agents and the KGB hot on their trail, Marilyn and Khrushchev enjoy the thrills of the amusement park while fighting to stay one step ahead of the assassins and prevent the horrors of an unprecedented war that would annihilate millions.

Started slow but worth the listen

Interesting - wonder how much is true. And, how would history have changed if Marilyn Monroe hadn’t died when she did.

Unbelievably? entertaining

Anyone who likes history and politics will find this very entertaining. The Collins(s) and Rudnicci once again put out a high quality story!

Loved the almost too good to be true story!

This book is amazing. I love how Marilyn was portrayed. The same can be said with Nikita Khrushchev. The story brings life to the characters. Highly recommend this book!

Delightful!

I'm not always a fan of multiple narrators, but they really worked for this one -- Gabrielle de Cuir was especially good.
