From Publishers Weekly

The father of a boy murdered by fascists in a small town in Bulgaria in 1934 embraces Communism and becomes an agent for the Soviets, who assign him to Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War. "Furst shows a remarkable talent in his fifth novel, integrating details about the cultures of Spain, France and Eastern Europe with a fascinating story," PW declared .

From Library Journal

A young Bulgarian, Khristo, is recruited into an elite unit of the Soviet espionage network. Bloodied and betrayed in the Spanish Civil War, he seeks oblivion in Paris but soon leads fresh sorties, this time against his Red spymasters. As World War II closes in, secret contacts among those who trained together makes it possible for most of them to evade the revenge of their former Russian overlords and eventually find their way to well-deserved refuge. An engaging writer and Esquire contributor, Furst deploys communists, fascists, and American naifs in Europe's theater of war and supports the action and romance with well-researched detail.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Wonderful Story, Avril 4 2004
Par James Comfort "jim comfort" (Dallas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
After having read the first of these, we ordered all of them, and have been reading them over the past two weeks. Finds the flavor of central and eastern europe prior to and during WWII like nothing else we have ever read. This one I particularly like after being in Bulgaria last year for three weeks. The characters are welll drawn, the mood of Europe which is about to be destroyed is wonderful. Order them all, then read them all, and then reread them. Looking forward to the next one to be published in August of this year.

3.0étoiles sur 5 good, but too long., Fév 14 2004
Par mathieu laine (Québec, Quebec Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Another good espionnage book by Furst. The only real flaw with the book is its length. If you are anything like me, you'll get the feeling that Furst is trying to make a long novel for the sake of it being long. The last hundred pages or so are kind of useless and the book ends up being a chore to read through. Otherwise, the book is really nice and once again Mr. Furst creates a nive gallery of believable characters and events. The atmosphere is just great. Had the book had been shorter, it would rate a solid 4 stars, maybe even 5. His shorter books (like the Polish Officer or Blood of Victory)are better.

4.0étoiles sur 5 An above average spy novel, Janv. 11 2004
Interesting spy novel set in the world of espionage in Europe in the 1930's and 40's. The main character is Khristo Stoianov, a Bulgarian. The story begins in 1934 when Khristo's brother is murdered by a fascist street gang. Sensing his potential, and realising he is now longer safe in his own village, a local Soviet agent recruits him into the NKVD, a forerunner of the KGB. His first assignment is in Spain during the Civil War. Things turn sour however and as he about to become a victim of the Stalinist purges, Khristo flees to Paris. Once there he is co-opted by anti-Soviet elements in an assassination plot involving British intelligence. He is imprisoned, escapes when Germany invades France and ends up in the French resistance. In the final stages of World War II he is again recruited, this time by the OSS and eventually decides to undertake one final, hazardous mission.

Mr Furst is a good writer, his characterisations are entertaining, the book is well researched with convincing descriptions of various European locales and regions and the plot is coherent and plausible, at least for three-quarters of the novel. The part of the story set in Paris for me is the best, the passages involving Khristo and Alexandra, a woman he becomes involved with I particularly liked. You get a real sense of what Paris must have been like in those nervous, decadent pre-war years.

After that though, I thought the book lost focus. There is a lengthy diversion involving an American OSS operative in France which comes out of nowhere and doesn't seem to hang properly with the rest of the story. Up until then you felt you were reading more of a character study, how average individuals such as Khristo would get swept up and carried away by the brutal forces at work in Europe in the era. However the second half of the book seemed to try to assume the mantle of the epic, sweeping historical novel, with characters, events and locations rushing past you. I felt that if the focus had been kept on Khristo the book would have been far more rewarding. The ending is also a little too easy. Nonetheless, the merits of the book raise it above the average run-of-the-mill spy story in many ways, yet Mr Furst does enough here and there to make me feel it could have been better.
