During the Cold War, a tunnel was built by British MI-6 and the CIA from the American Sector of West Berlin into East Berlin; it allowed the allies to tap into a buried communications cable  and successfully intercepted and exploited communications between the Warsaw Pact countries and  Russia. Shortly after it became operation, the Russians "discovered" it. The Berlin Tunnel--A Cold War Thriller is fictional account of how a second tunnel might have been built into East Berlin before, during, and after the closing of the Berlin Wall and the Berlin Crisis in 1961.

Love couldn’t have found him at a worse time.

Soon after he arrives, Robert falls for a German girl, Anna Fischer. Nasty East German Secret Police harass them both constantly, intent on determining what Robert and his work crew are doing in Berlin, but it’s Anna who gets caught in the crossfire.

​

The wall is closed, trapping 18 million East Germans including Anna’s entire family behind the Iron Curtain. As the world holds its collective breath over the Berlin Crisis, Robert and Anna fight for their lives as they attempt to free her family.
