Acerca de esta escucha
Januari 1958, een donkere periode in de Koude Oorlog. De ruimtevaart staat nog in de kinderschoenen, maar op Cape Canaveral is de countdown begonnen voor de Explorer-raket, waarmee de VS de slag om de heerschappij van de ruimte hoopt te kunnen winnen van de Sovjet-Unie, die al beschikt over de Spoetnik. Vier vrienden van Harvard bevinden zich in het centrum van deze machtsstrijd. Ze beseffen allen dat het falen van de lancering van de Explorer rampzalige gevolgen voor de VS zal hebben.
Een man ontwaakt op de vloer in de toiletten van het station van Washington D.C. Hij heeft geen benul hoe hij daar verzeild is geraakt, hij herinnert zich niet waar hij woont en weet zelfs niet meer hoe hij heet.
De man blijkt Luke Lucas te zijn, een van de vier uit Harvard. Als hij achter de oorzaak van zijn geheugenverlies komt en zijn leven weer oppakt, gaat hij op zoek naar zijn vrienden. Luke komt tot de schokkende ontdekking dat zijn lot verbonden is aan de raket die op het lanceerplatform gereedstaat. Hij beschikte over kennis die uit zijn geheugen gebannen moest worden. Zo begint Lukes zoektocht naar zijn eigen dodelijke geheim, terwijl het aftellen voor de Explorer is begonnen.

His name was Feliks. He came to London to commit a murder that would change history. A master manipulator, he had many weapons at his command, but against him were ranged the whole of the English police, a brilliant and powerful lord, and the young Winston Churchill himself. These odds would have stopped any man in the world - except the man from St. Petersburg.

Never is an extraordinary novel, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, jaded politicians and opportunistic revolutionaries. It brims with cautionary wisdom for our times, and delivers a visceral, heart-pounding story that transports listeners to the brink of the unimaginable.

One hot Monday morning in 1976, Albert Spaggiari engineered the European crime of the century. A bank president in Nice, France found his vault welded shut—from the inside. Spaggiari and his gang of 20 men had dug a 25-foot tunnel from the city's sewer system into the bank, where they spent a weekend cooking meals, drinking wine, and clearing millions of dollars in gold, jewelry, gems, and cash. Here is the breathtakingly compelling story of Spaggiari, his “sewer gang,” and the most daring, outrageous theft of the 20th century.
