Publisher's summary

The secret history of David Hasselhoff and the fall of the Berlin Wall - as told by the Hoff himself.

Autumn, 1989. The waning days of the Cold War. A rogue Stasi colonel has acquired a nuclear bomb and threatens to level Berlin if and when the Wall comes down. CIA Agent Nick Harper is called in to foil the plot. Soon after arriving, however, Harper discovers his identity has been compromised. To stay alive, he must go along with a group of passionate young East Berliners who mistake him for their idol, American superstar David Hasselhoff.

Meanwhile, across the Wall, the real David Hasselhoff arrives in West Berlin to play a sold-out show before a hundred thousand adoring German fans, in the name of freedom. But upon crossing into the East as a tourist, Hasselhoff - who bears a striking resemblance to the US operative - unwittingly finds himself caught up in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse.

When the Hoff fails to show up for his concert, Agent Harper is forced to stand in for his famous doppelgänger while the real Hasselhoff must rely on his acting chops and Knight Rider training to save Berlin...and potentially the world.

About the Creator

David Hasselhoff is a multifaceted performer and artist whose career as an actor and chart-topping singer have made him a household name in the US and overseas. In 1982, David Hasselhoff was cast as Michael Knight on the primetime hit series Knight Rider. After the huge success of Knight Rider, David returned to television in 1989 to produce and star in the lifeguard drama, Baywatch, which became the most watched show in TV history. (David himself remains a fixture in The Guinness Book of World Records as the most watched actor in the history of television.)

On stage, he has starred on Broadway in Jekyll & Hyde, played Billy Flynn in the West End production of Chicago, and performed in the Las Vegas stage production of The Producers. For seven holiday seasons, David broke box office records and starred as Captain "Hoff The Hook" in the UK Pantomime production of Peter Pan. He also has been a celebrity judge on the blockbuster series, America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent, and can be seen in two installments of the popular Syfy franchise, Sharknado. His film credits include The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Click, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, and Hop.

His 2015 comedy series, Hoff the Record, won the International Emmy Award for Best Comedy and is now streaming on Netflix. In 2017, David appeared as himself in Marvel’s hit feature film, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. (Director James Gunn personally wrote the film’s end title song, "Guardians Inferno," for David to perform.) Killing Hasselhoff, a feature film David produced and starred in, was released later that year. For Up Against the Wall, an Audible Original Production, David served as both author and narrator. The spy thriller takes place at the Berlin Wall and calls upon David to use his acting skills and Knight Rider training to save the day—and Berlin.
