Publisher's Summary

A SECRETARY LIKE NO OTHER
IN AN EPIC SPANNING 40 YEARS

All Hanna Fischer ever wanted to do was to study physics under the great Albert Einstein.

But when, as a teenager in 1919, her life is suddenly turned upside-down, she is catapulted into a new and extraordinary life - as a secretary, a scientist, a sister and a spy.

From racist gangs in Berlin to gangsters in New York City, Nazis in the 1930s and Hitler's inner circle during the Second World War, Hanna will encounter some of history's greatest minds and most terrible moments, all while desperately trying to stay alive.

She is a most unique secretary and she will work for many bosses - from shrewd businessmen to vile Nazis, to the greatest boss of them all, Mr Albert Einstein...

Spanning forty years, this is the thrilling tale of a young woman propelled through history's most dangerous times. But read it carefully, because all may not be as it seems...

The first chapters were fantastic

Bruce Willis in his prime couldn’t have pulled off these feats.
Bitterly disappointed at the level of totally impossible scenarios being executed.

Reminds me of Forrest Gump, well worth the read!

Another surprising book written by Matthew Reilly, all the elements of a Jack West novel with a very similar storyline to the Forrest Gump movie which parodies a fictitious character whose life becomes entwined in important historical events. A slightly tragic tale with a great cast of characters whose relationships kept the storyline alive. Hannah Fischer was an amazing heroine who overcame her own fears to be the brave person she became. Annabelle Tudor's narration was 1st class. A worthy read.

wonderful

I did not want this book to end, I love feeling the pace of a Mathew Reilly book but from a female perspective. This book is instantly a favourite of mine :)
