This is the seventh and seemingly the final book in the Inspector Pekkala series in Stalin's Soviet Union (no spoilers here as to the ending). This one is set in the dying days of the Second World War and Pekkala and his sidekick Major Kirov must enter Berlin and rescue an agent who has been leaking to the Allies the secret of a refinement to the Nazi V2 rocket guidance system that will make it far more accurate and breathe new life into the Nazi war effort. The agent is none other than Pekkala's ex-fiancee. While this sounds exciting from this description, the novel has too many characters and changes of scenery and the usual information dumps and excessive use of flashbacks that disrupt the narrative. A good enough page turner to end the series, though. ( ) I am a lucky person, I received some really great reading for Christmas. One such book is "Berlin Red" by Sam Eastland a writer I first encountered through Librarything Early reader program, when the first book in the Inspector Pekkala series, "Eye of the Red Tsar", came out. The stories cover Russia under Stalin, the Red Tsar, and his unwilling master spy, Pekkala. I have read all seven of the books and find them suspenseful and well written. Berlin Red is no exception. Started reading it on Dec. 31, finished on Jan.1. With time out for the New Years eve hoopla. And couldn't wait to get back to the book. Mystery, romance, and history all together, what's not to like? Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"April, 1945. East of Berlin, the Red Army stands poised to unleash its final assault upon the ruined capital of Hitler's Thousand Year Reich. To the north, at a lonely outpost near the Baltic Sea, German scientists perfect a guidance system for the mighty V2 rocket, which has already caused massive damage to the cities of London and Antwerp. This device, known only by the codename Diamond Stream, will allow the rocket to arrive at its target with pin- point accuracy. So devastating is the potential of this newly-mastered technology that Hitler's promise to the German people of a 'miracle weapon' that will turn the tide of the war might actually come true. When a radio message sent to Hitler's Headquarters, heralding the success of Diamond Stream, is intercepted by an English listening station, British Intelligence orders one of its last agents operating in Berlin to acquire the plans for the device. Desperate to evacuate their agent from the doomed city before the Red Army swarms through its streets, British Special Operations turns to the Kremlin for help. They ask for one man in particular - Inspector Pekkala. This time, for Pekkala, it is personal" -- summary from www.inspectorpekkala.com Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
