The Quiller Memorandum

De: Adam Hall

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

You are a secret agent working for the British in Berlin. You are due to go home on leave, but you are being followed by the enemy - or your own people. A man meets you in the theater and briefs you on a plot to revive the power of Nazi Germany. You do not believe him, but you remember that one of the suspects mentioned was a senior SS officer you met while you were working as a spy in Nazi Germany. Next, you make contact with a beautiful girl who may know something. Someone tries to kill both of you.

Your name is Quiller. You are the hero of an extraordinary novel that shows how a spy works, how messages are coded and decoded, how contacts are made, how a man reacts under the influence of truth drugs, and that traces the story of a vastly complex, entertaining, convincing, and sinister plot.

"You can't go wrong with Quiller." (Harper's)
"Tense, intelligent, harsh, surprising." (New York Times)
"A model of breathless excitement." (New Yorker)

Loved it!!

The stream of consciousness parts were amazing!!! Kept me on the edge the whole time. I would never have know this book was published in the 60’s. Great thriller. Wish there were more of his works on Audible.

Good performance of a middling story

The plot was unnecessarily obscure, told through excessive exposition. No character development. There’s a good spy story buried inside somewhere.

British

Very. British, very good
Enjoyed the presentation. This is a book I read many many years ago when I was an Adam Hall fanatic!

Very good spy thriller

A sometimes very exciting spy story but ultimately not especially believable one but then again believability is hardly the purpose suspense and uncertainty rules the day here.

Quiller

Good but a bit tiring. It is very good writing, but tends to get repetitive and bogged down with few traditional thriller elements to get the reader enthused. Detailed descriptions of the undercover methods are great for those interested in such matters. Very little character development or exposition does not help. Quality narration.
