Publisher's Summary
Read by Richard Armitage (The Hobbit, Spooks)
The Man From St Petersburg is a dark tale of family secrets and political consequences. Ken Follett's masterful storytelling brings to life the danger of a world on the brink of war.
A Secret Negotiation
1914. Tensions are rising as Europe finds itself caught in a web of alliances and dangerous warmongering. To help tip the balance in their favour, Britain aims to draw Russia into an alliance with them instead of Germany. Czar Nicholas’s nephew, Prince Aleksei, is sent to London for secret naval talks with Lord Walden.
A Play for Power
Walden has a personal connection to Aleksei; his wife is Aleksei’s aunt. And they are not the only ones interested in the Russian's arrival; so too are Walden’s wilful, idealistic daughter, the head of Special Branch, and a ruthless Russian anarchist.
A World at War
With the British desperately needing a signed treaty and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the destinies of these individuals become inextricably linked, as tragedy threatens to shatter the Waldens’ complacency . . .

Excellent Narration! As usual.
Sometimes words do fail to describe the wonderful and insightful narration which Richard Armitage brings to each project he undertakes! He does independent voices so well- the lazy drawl of English aristocrats, cultured tones of ladies, thick accents of Russians speaking English, rural accents, speech of maids, the roughness of a policeman's accent, the eagerness of a little boy, cockney accents...
It was a joy to listen to this talented actor read this book. Any book, actually. I will happily listen to the telephone directory or your household grocery list- if he reads it!
Highly recommended.
