About this listen

“Revolt in Berlin: Part One” is the fifth book in Noel Hynd’s ‘Flowers From Berlin’ series.

It is the early 1950s, the end of the Truman Administration and the start of the Eisenhower years. A divided Berlin remains the focal point of the Cold War, the political tinderbox that threatens to ignite World War Three.

American intelligence agent – and expert on Berlin – William Cochrane returns to Berlin under the cover of an instructor at the Free University, a beacon of western thought and freedom in a city still devastated by the world war. Berlin remains surrounded by Soviet troops from all sides. With dismay growing against Stalinist rule in East Germany, the streets seethe with violence and insurrection. Soviet tanks role into Berlin to crush a workers’ revolt, and the world has its most critical American-Soviet confrontation since 1945. For Bill Cochrane the mayhem on the streets and back alleys of Berlin propel him into yet another world of espionage, assassination, abduction, compromised principles and constant danger. And this time, the personal stakes are greater than ever, the threats directed not just at Berlin and the free world, but at Cochrane, his family and the woman he loves.

“Revolt in Berlin: Part One” is another brilliant stand-alone spy story in this captivating series. It will lead into “Revolt in Berlin: Part Two” later in 2024.

On Return to Berlin:

Paul Collins, The Nashua (N.H.) Telegraph, January 30, 2020

"A Compelling Spy Thriller of War-Torn Berlin" - Lovers of World War Two stories will devour this stunning tale that is a perfect combination of knife-edge intrigue and history brought to life, as Noel Hynd writes period fiction that is mesmerizing. From the outset, he hooks readers and takes them on a tension-filled emotional roller-coaster ride. He populates the story with characters that are so richly drawn that, for me, it was often difficult to believe that they were all brought to life from the author's imagination. The pages are filled with suspense that is crafted in a style that is thoughtful, gripping and that had me racing through the pages, and yet not wanting the story to end. 'Return to Berlin' possesses all the hallmarks of a compelling international spy thriller by an author who writes in a confident and gripping style that summons the intrigue of WW2 in a unique way that breathes life into fictional characters in tautly drawn settings that are filled with nail-biting scenes. This is a book that will have you reading long after the rest of the world has gone to sleep.

Don't waste your time

This book is narrated by a "virtual voice." You'd think that since the voice is virtual, the publishers could have created a pleasant one. Regrettably they did not. It's annoying and ill-suited to the material.

Many of the German words and names in the book (there are dozens -- it IS about Berlin, after all) are badly mangled. There are some problems with English words as well. For example, the nationality "Polish" is pronounced repeatedly as though it were something you do with a polishing cloth.

The story isn't very interesting. It just fizzles at the end.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
