If you enjoy WWII history and a good spy thriller, I would go for it.A nightmare out of history, the Forgotten are a faction that all others thought to be lost or dead.Īgainst their will they were forged into a tight society of violent and distrustful survivors, having spent the final years of the cataclysm alone on the surface of Auriga. My only difficulty was with some rough transitions from interview scenes to memory scenes, which didn’t spoil the reading. All in all, I would rate this as an exceptionally good novel. We feel the crushing weight of his conflicts of values, his wartime love affair, and deep personal losses. Along the same lines, I thought the author did an especially good job walking us in Kolbe’s shoes, so to speak. He also captures the pathos of an equally devastated population. Kollander’s descriptions, not at all maudlin, match photos of the devastated city during Allied bombing. The Honest Spy conveys a very real sense of life in Berlin during the last two years of the Reich. From the framework of the interview, we are taken back to detailed scenes from Kolbe’s double life as earnest, trustworthy bureaucrat and dangerous, duplicitous spy. He has agreed to an interview with a young couple, a reporter and a photographer. It is a story within a story that begins “a few years after the war” at Kolbe’s isolated cabin in the Swiss mountains. The story is set mainly in Berlin and Bern. The Honest Spy is a fictional account of this time. As such, he had access to highly classified Nazi documents which, out of conscience, he offered to the CIA. He was a high-level official in the German Foreign Office during WWII. Written by Andreas Kollender Steve Anderson (trans.)įritz Kolbe, the honest spy, is not a fictional character.
