The Odessa File (by Frederick Forsyth) app for iPhone and iPad

THE ODESSA FILE by Frederick Forsyth (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

Based on the authors experiences as an international investigative journalist in the early 1960s, this extrapolation from reality into terror explores how a carefree young German freelance journalist came to send an anonymous packet to the Ministry of Justice revealing the identities of former members of Hitlers dreaded SS.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

___________________
Frederick Forsyths spellbinding novels are the natural outgrowth of an adventuresome career in international investigative journalism. Written in Austria and Germany during the fall of 1971, The Odessa File is based on its authors life experiences as a Reuters man reporting from London, Paris, and East Berlin in the early 1960s.
The “Odessa” of this title is an acronym for the secret organization which has protected the identities and advanced the destinies of former members of Hitlers dreaded SS since shortly before the end of World War II. One of its rare major defeats came in the spring of 1964, when a packet of dossiers arrived anonymously at the Ministry of Justice in Bonn. How and why a once carefree young German freelance journalist came to send the packet is told in this brilliant new extrapolation from reality into terror.
