Track 61

By: Eve Karlin

Narrated by: Natasha Soudek

Midnight, June 13, 1942: Peter Burger stands on a foggy beach, ears primed as a submarine hull scrapes the sandy sea bottom. He has endured seventeen months in a Gestapo prison and seventeen days on a Nazi U-boat only to have landed on American shores with six boxes of explosives and no escape.

After slipping into New York City, Peter finds himself at a massive military parade where he meets Grete Baum, a German-Jewish refugee grappling with loneliness and loss. Grete is drawn to Peter’s brooding vulnerability, and the pair instantly bond.

Super

Great listen. Good narration and story. Loved how the author intertwined her own history into the book

Brilliant narration and thrilling story

I absolutely loved this page-turner inspired by a true story. The narrator did a brilliant job, Her German was native and flawless, and she did an amazing job voicing the characters and soulful dynamics of this story. She has the kind of voice I could listen to forever and never want to stop hearing, and I enjoyed this audiobook so much that I did not want it to end. And I learned so much fascinating stuff, too! Can’t wait for more from this dynamic author and narrator team!

Great weaving of fact and fiction.

Fantastic historical fiction. The historical backdrop is fascinating., must read for the beach this summer

Thrilling story of love and loss

Wow an amazing book that keeps you at the edge of your seat. I started reading (listening to) the book last week and can’t seem to put it down. Every free moment I got I wanted to jump back into the story. Love how much detail was put into the story. I felt like I was learning so much about New York during WW2 while going through this crazy adventure. Highly recommend a listen.
