Om denne bog

A daredevil British agent goes behind enemy lines in this WWII-era spy thriller from Pulitzer Prize-winning critic and bestselling novelist Stephen Hunter.

Basil St. Florian is an accomplished agent in the British Army, completing dangerous missions across the globe. But going undercover in Nazi-occupied France during World War II might be his toughest assignment yet. He must search for a religious manuscript that doesn''t officially exist, one that genius professor Alan Turing believes may crack a code that could prevent the deaths of millions and possibly even end the war.

St. Florian isn''t the classic British special agent with a stiff upper lip – he is a swashbuckling, whisky-drinking cynic and thrill-seeker who resents having to leave Vivien Leigh''s bed to set out on his crucial mission. Despite these proclivities, Basil''s superiors know he''s the best man for the job, with enough charm and quick wit to make his foes lower their guards. Action-packed and bursting with intrigue (much of which has basis in fact), Basil''s War is a classic espionage thriller.

Reviews for Stephen Hunter:

''An outstanding WWII spy thriller'' Nelson DeMille

''The front rank of the thriller novelists'' People
