Publisher's Summary

A SECRETARY LIKE NO OTHER
IN AN EPIC SPANNING 40 YEARS

All Hanna Fischer ever wanted to do was to study physics under the great Albert Einstein.

But when, as a teenager in 1919, her life is suddenly turned upside-down, she is catapulted into a new and extraordinary life - as a secretary, a scientist, a sister and a spy.

From racist gangs in Berlin to gangsters in New York City, Nazis in the 1930s and Hitler's inner circle during the Second World War, Hanna will encounter some of history's greatest minds and most terrible moments, all while desperately trying to stay alive.

She is a most unique secretary and she will work for many bosses - from shrewd businessmen to vile Nazis, to the greatest boss of them all, Mr Albert Einstein...

Spanning forty years, this is the thrilling tale of a young woman propelled through history's most dangerous times. But read it carefully, because all may not be as it seems...

Brilliant

The ENTIRE story had me begging for every and any opportunity to listen.
I was enthralled by the history it opened my eyes to. I was held to ransom by the artful storytelling - the narration was equally as good.
Just leap into this one. NOW!

Exceptionally good story

I really enjoyed listening to this. It is different to other Matthew Reilly novels I have read and was really interesting. It did move backwards and forwards in time a lot and this took a bit of getting used to but it was brilliant storytelling.

Amazing narrator

I have listened to all Matthew Reilly's other books, this was certainly a different direction from him. Was a bit unsure but thought i'd give it a go and am i glad i did. Great story and the narration was 1st class, the accents and characters she did were amazing. highly recommended.
