About this audiobook

A German actor conscripted into WWII will play the role of his life as he makes a daring escape in this espionage thriller inspired by true events. This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.   When the SS orders banned entertainer Max Kaspar to impersonate a US officer during the Battle of the Bulge, Max devises his own secret mission to escape the war and flee to America. With his career in Germany over, this plan is his big break—and his last chance.   But Max's mission is doomed from the start. Trapped between the lines in the freezing Ardennes Forest, he must summon all of his acting talents and newfound courage to evade perilous traps laid by both sides. Inspired by a real-life 1944 operation, this gripping wartime thriller is the first book in the Kaspar Brothers series.
