The Spandau Diary - what was in it? Why did the secret intelligence agencies of every major power want it? Why was a brave and beautiful woman kidnapped to get it? Why did a chain of deception and violent death lash out across the globe, from survivors of the Nazi past to warriors in this new conflict about to explode? Why did the world's entire history of World War II have to be rewritten as the future hung over a nightmare abyss?

Complex plot with plenty of action.

I would have given it a full 5 stars but as has been pointed out by other reviewers, the story has a few too many plot lines and characters than it needs. There are Nazis, neo Nazis, KGB, all manner of spies, police and secret police (Russian, British, South African, Israeli and American), assassins, Arab terrorists, Cuban and Columbian mercenaries, nuclear weapons, arms dealers, drug dealers ???. This shouldn???t stop anyone from enjoying the ride; just know that it???s going to be a wild one.
Well Told Story of Intrigue and Suspense

It does manage to drag in a few spots, but not too much.
I can't understand other reviewer's complaints about the narrator. Granted he's not Rich Little, but without his accents and voices, the book would not have been nearly as enjoyable.
Good read - recommended.
Good Story, Good action, Excellent narrator

If you could sum up Spandau Phoenix in three words, what would they be?
Very Complex TaleWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Spandau Phoenix?
The confluence of most of the characters, each with different goals, in or near Horn HouseWhat about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?
His ability to modulate his voice to suit different charactersHistorical Fiction?

What did you like best about Spandau Phoenix? What did you like least?
This is a pretty good book but not up to Illes' standards. While some of his other works, e.g.the Penn Cage series, are comparably long, they are so well written that it's hard to put them down. Unfortunately Spandau Phoenix does not meet this standard.What didn’t you like about Dick Hill’s performance?
Very little. I cannot understand why Dick Hill is so popular. When he is reading in a normal tone, he's OK, but his attempts at foreign (and female) accents are insufferable and annoying. Unlike John Lee (Century trilogy) whose accents and pronunciations are superb, Hill's are amateurish and exaggerated.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
NoAny additional comments?
I wish Illes would either continue the Penn Cage series or begin another one.Too Long

Where does Spandau Phoenix rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I got lost in this story more than once. It is convoluted and there are a LOT of characters. That said it was engrossing and the presentation was excellent. It had to be good to get through that many hours of the same story. I still didn't want to leave these people after it was all over. I recommend it.Long and complicated

I thought the book was well done, the story flowed well and did not linger.
Plausible, I guess not given what we know now about the survivors of WWII, but the book does put an interesting spin on the Hess mystery.
The book is fast paced, and the narrator does a great job, every once and awhile he slips up on the German accented voices and the English accents, but not annoying.
I enjoyed that the characters were not purely good and evil except for of course one character I will not mention.
Given when this book was written the funny passage about chaos in the work if Gas reached $98 a barrel was pretty funny given the price today.
If you like to read about fantasy and a different take on post WW2 history this one is worth the money.
A Good Read, or Listen....
