Bill Hefflin is a man apart—apart from life, apart from his homeland, apart from love

At the start of the 1989 uprising in Romania, CIA analyst Bill Hefflin—a disillusioned Romanian expat—arrives in Bucharest at the insistence of his KGB asset, code-named Boris. As Hefflin becomes embroiled in an uprising that turns into a brutal revolution, nothing is as it seems, including the search for his childhood love, which has taken on mythical proportions.

With the bloody events unfolding at blinding speed, Hefflin realizes the revolution is manipulated by outside forces, including his own CIA and Boris—the puppeteer who seems to be pulling all the strings of Hefflin's life.

The Bourne Identity meets John le Carré's The Spy Who Came In from the Cold.

Interesting setting of the Romanian overthrow of Nicolae Ceausescu. Storyline works itself out just a little bit too perfectly to be believable, however. And the narrator is difficult to listen to. He does a good job of imitating other voices and accents, but his own accent and inflection is often irritating with phrases and sentences going up at the end instead of down, mispronouncing some words, and dropping the “g”s on his word endings.

Story too pat

I enjoy the backdrop of a story set in Bucharest. The plot was kind of silly in the ending shallow. The narrator was pretty dreadful..

Cool backdrop, thin plot

I loved every minute of this book. An enthralling story, with spies, dictators, heroes and heroines, plus a good dose of modern Romanian history as the backdrop. Highly recommended.
The narrator is among the best I've ever enjoyed on Audible. Fabulous.

A gripping thriller set in modern Romania

A nice blend of historic fact blended with fiction. It almost feels as an autobiography by the author - he is Romanian-born after all.
The narration delvery by Mr Richards is very good too and at times lifts the narrative, especially with theEastern European accents where applicable. I would definitely recommend it in the audiobook version.
furthermore, a great debut for William Maz.

History & fiction intertwined

Informative and entertaining, Mr. Maz tells a tale that moves along nicely giving the listener a history lesson as he entertains us with his well drawn characters.

A Good Story, Well Read

I needed to finish for book club, otherwise I would have returned it in the first half hour…and it kept getting worse. A 40 year old fat, balding guy from Brooklyn (Stanton)???? Throughout it was impatient, affected, comic “accents” annoyed/annoying. I should have taken the time to read. I have never, ever written a review fewer than 4 stars for performance. If there were a minus 3 or 4, this performance deserves it.

Totally annoying reading.
