About this listen

It's 1956, and the cold war is hot. Hungary has just fallen, and Blackford Oakes is back from Budapest, puzzling over a betrayal and mourning a tragedy he couldn't prevent.

But in Washington, all attention is focused on the race to put the first satellite in space. Ironically, Russia and America each have the secrets the other needs to succeed. The solution: kidnap a pair of extraordinary Russian scientists who can put the U.S. in the lead.

Blackford Oakes is in charge, unaware that KGB spymaster Bolgin and a trio of vengeful Hungarian freedom fighters are hot on his trail. Oakes' life and America's future are on the line in this fast-paced thriller that offers Buckley at his best.

" Who's on First is a rollicking good read, easy to pick up, hard to put down!" ( Midwest Book Review)
"Anyone who can make conferences between Dulles and Acheson sound like vaudeville routines deserves the audience he is bound to get." ( Kirkus Reviews)
