review 1: Downing's books end and make me look immediately for the next in the series, but I only have one in this series left. The previous book in the series, Stettin Station, ended with Pearl Harbor. I don't know if I am puzzled by or respect Downing's decision to skip the rest of the war in describing these characters. This book starts in 1945, after hostilities are over. Perhaps too much has been set during the war. It's almost too easy to create tension. The author has a book appearing this spring (2014) that's not part of this series, and I will definitely check it out.
review 2: Another engrossing installment in the Berlin "stations" series, this time treating the end of the Third Reich and life under Allied occupation. The seeds of the Cold War are being planted... more, and which occupied sector of Berlin you or your business is situated makes all the difference. Evokes the darkness of grim times - post-war shortages, ongoing ethnic displacements, and seeking ways to coexist with erstwhile enemies. less
