The Valhalla Exchange

By: Jack Higgins

Narrated by: Michael Page

On April 30, 1945, Russian radar reported a light aircraft leaving the vicinity of the Tiergarten in Berlin. But who was on board, and where was the plane going?

Berlin was in ruins as the Russians moved relentlessly towards the concrete bunker where the Nazi administration was falling apart. But one man, Reichsleiter Martin Bormann, Adolf Hitler's secretary and eminence grise had a daring plan to escape.

Far away to the south-west, at Schloss Arlberg above the River Inn, five prisoners of war were contemplating their fate. Would they be murdered by their captors or liberated by the Russians?

Unbeknown to them, Bormann has his own plans. They are about to become part of a mystery that has fascinated the world for over 60 years. What exactly did happen to Bormann and his prisoners?

A decent story hurt by bad voice acting.

I like the authors work. This book is a basic knock off of The Eagle Has Landed. Still, I enjoyed it when I read it all those years ago.

The main problem with this particular product is the voice acting. It almost feels like a parity of the various characters in the book, especially the one American rifleman, it sounds like a satire of a Jewish rabbi.

Another great read!

Excellent story and character development. Nice bookends to start and finish the story! Loved the ending!

Great story

another great novel by Jack Higgins this time about Martin bormann a good listen enjoy

too confusing and unfocused

narrative jumps around making it impossible to follow story - ugh - disconnected and leaves one clueless what’s going on

Good for a diversion, but that's it

Jack Higgins is to WW2 Europe what Louis L'Amour is to western, churned out a lot of readable, shoot 'em up stories, the differences between which get blurry the more of them you read. This one was okay, but quite predictable. One nice little twist at the very end.

Disappointed

Although I have liked most of Jack Higgins Nazi era books this one was much gorier and it was difficult to follow as an audiobook. Why do all British performers think Americans speak with accents like they’re from Michigan or Ohio —very harsh and difficult to listen to?
