Night Soldiers
Night Soldiers: A Novel | Alan Furst
Bulgaria, 1934. A young man is murdered by the local fascists. His brother, Khristo Stoianev, is recruited into the NKVD, the Soviet secret intelligence service, and sent to Spain to serve in its civil war. Warned that he is about to become a victim of Stalins purges, Khristo flees to Paris. Night Soldiers masterfully re-creates the European world of 193445: the struggle between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia for Eastern Europe, the last desperate gaiety of the beau monde in 1937 Paris, and guerrilla operations with the French underground in 1944. Night Soldiers is a scrupulously researched panoramic novel, a work on a grand scale. From the Trade Paperback edition.

My April #bookspin (tagged) & #doublespin plus my April #roll100

I‘m traveling (hopefully) starting Monday. I‘m packing quite a few books, including 3 of these, with the goal of doing a lot of reading while in transit.

PuddleJumper I get so much reading done on trains. Headphones and books tend to stop people talking to me 2y

My October #bookspin TBR.

8 of these are also on my #scarathlon TBR, which I‘ll post once I know which team I was assigned to. 🎃

And hopefully I can use a lot of these for October‘s Rapid Readers book pathfinder challenge.

I do love multi-purposed TBRs!

TheAromaofBooks Challenge stacking is always a good thing!!! 3y

I finally read the first book in this legendary series! And now I kind of get it. Our protagonist in this one gets to be a Bulgarian spy for Russia and ends up in, uh, various other countries - Spain, France, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania ... and the novel is all about the war between communist & fascist forces, not to mention the “west,” and spycraft and reversals, and a motley band of brothers who end up in various countries during the war. #WWII

Happy Birthday to Alan Furst born on this date in 1941. “Spy novels are traditionally about lone wolves,but now how many people actually live like that?”-Alan Furst.This book has been on the TBR for years, it‘s even been through a couple of moves..compared to Eric Ambler and Graham Greene. Maybe this year I will get to it.Furst is considered a master of the historical spy novel.

wordzie Happy bday Mr. Furst🎉 5y
