Paul von Hartmann is on the staff of the German Foreign Office - and secretly a member of the anti-Hitler resistance.

Now, when Hugh flies with Chamberlain from London to Munich, and Hartmann travels on Hitler's train overnight from Berlin, their paths are set on a disastrous collision course.

Unfolding the delicious three-way gamesmanship between America, Britain, and the Soviet Union, and culminating in the gripping cinematic beat-by-beat of Oleg Gordievsky's nail-biting escape from Moscow in 1985, Ben Macintyre's latest may be his best yet. Like the greatest novels of John le Carré, it brings listeners deep into a world of treachery and betrayal, where the lines bleed between the personal and the professional, and one man's hatred of communism had the power to change the future of nations.

Assigned to the case is military intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt. Already haunted by his wartime actions and the mistakes he's made off the battlefield, he soon finds that his investigation may be more than just a murder, and that the late Yugoslavian heroine may have been much more brilliant - and treacherous - than anyone knew.

Publisher's Summary

In the fall of 1941, Anglo-American journalist John Russell is still living in Berlin, tied to the increasingly alien city by his love for two Berliners: his 14-year-old son, Paul, and his longtime girlfriend, Effi. Forced to work for both German and American intelligence, he's searching for a way out of Germany. Can he escape and take Effi with him?

Critic Reviews

“With strong, vivid prose, the author maintains a high level of suspense throughout, and makes the reader care about his leads.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“This is a tense spy thriller that is particularly good at evoking the stark terror of living under the Nazis, and reminding us there was a German opposition to Hitler.” ( Euro Crime)

A great series

Each of the three books in this series is a gripping thriller in its own right but they are even better if read in sequence. This is the third and the premise of the main protagonist being a British/American journalist living in Berlin works well to give us a cynical insight into how it must have been to live under the Nazi regime and with a reminder that there were Germans opposed to the state. Evocative of a desperate time and place, the tension, excitement and suspense build as the situation for John Russell deteriorates. This third book lives up to the high standards of the first two.

A fine set of stories

When looking for a new audio book, I sometimes look at other books read by my favourite narrators and so it was I came up with the David Downing "Station" set read by Simon Prebble. All three books in the series have been thoroughly enjoyable, the only thing that lets down Stettin Station being the numerous edits that have taken place and have been recorded with completely different audio settings, absolutely no bass whatsoever. So when one of these occurs, albeit short in length, Simon sounds like he's got his head in a toilet. There are so many of them too and it really spoils what would have been and excellent final book in the series. Shame.

Superb Thriller

A tense thriller that captures the fear and atmosphere of Hitlers Germany.I found myself marvelling at how the author can write and instill in the listener the horror that is happening in Germany
The book is superbly narrated by Simon Prebble.
Buy it after listening to the previous two books you will not be disappointed

Great story - shabby production

Previous books in this series have been brilliantly narrated by Simon Prebble. He's good on this one too - but the production values are shockingly bad - as in, I'm shocked someone let it be released and sold in this state. Frequently words or phrases are replaced by jarringly differ audio - poorer quality. It's a real botch job. Not so bad that I didn't listen to the whole thing.

The story is good, but drags a little in the third at. If you've read the previous books you'll be sufficiently invested in the characters and entertained by the historical detail to enjoy it all the same.

Best of the three

Excellent third book and the best of the three. They should be read in sequence to appreciate the development of the story. Awaiting the fourth, Potsdam Station.

spoiled by bungled recording

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No. The recording is awful

What other book might you compare Stettin Station to, and why?

Very good story line. As good as the Philip Kerr series

The stories are still high quality...BUT

What did you like best about Stettin Station? What did you like least?

The quality of the audio leaves a lot to be desired. Clearly, edited sections have been inserted after the original recording. The quality of these added parts is much poorer (it sounds like he read them inside a cupboard). This is disappointing and distracting.

Another good listen in the John Russell series

If you could sum up Stettin Station in three words, what would they be?

Atmospheric, absorbing, interesting

What was one of the most memorable moments of Stettin Station?

John and Effie waiting in Stettin to escape the Gestapo.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

It's not really an 'enjoyable' book as it's about Nazi Berlin at the time the US enters the war.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Tense thriller set in wartime Berlin

Any additional comments?

Worth reading the first two books in the series first
