Publisher's Summary

New York Times bestselling author Alan Furst is internationally renowned as master of the European espionage thriller. Unfolding in September of 1939 as Hitler’s Wehrmacht ravages Warsaw, the Polish Officer discloses the clandestine existence of Polish Military Intelligence.

Captain Alexander de Milja understands that his life, as he knows it, is over. But even in this bleakest of circumstances, all need not be lost. At a decimated cavalry stable under the droning of German bombers, Alexander is offered a choice: die in a last stand, or accept a new appointment—and discover a way to keep on fighting even in the face of defeat. His first mission: lead the final refugee train south from doomed Warsaw.

With delicately wrought prose and a historian’s eye for detail, Alan Furst offers a powerful, emotionally challenging addition to his stellar catalogue.

Great Spy Novel

This is a very traditional spy novel of this era. It really depicts the time period and now people lived during this time. My father was in World War II so I felt it really gave me an idea of the events of this time period and how people reacted to what was happening. I cannot image the courage it took for people at this time to do the work they did to under mind Hitler's efforts. Thank you Mr Furst for writing such a realistic novel.
George Guidall is a great narrator. I have listened to him narrate other novels and enjoy his voice.
