- Atmospheric thriller for all who enjoy spy novels...
For those of you unfamiliar with Alan Furst, he currently writes espionage thrillers set in Europe between the mid-1930's thru WWII. I say currently because Furst did write some earlier novels unrelated to this, but most people know him for his WWII era spy novels, of which Night Soldiers is the first.
Another feature of Furst's novels is that no matter where they start or end, all of the books wander thru Paris at one time or another... and not just the City of Lights and Romance, but the dark underside of Paris also. Furst also likes the have some consistency between his later books, so usually there will be one character who will apppear again in another book, perhaps with a different face...
Night Soldiers is the story of Khristo Stoianev. The story begins in Bulgaria of the 1930's. ... Read More

- A worthy heir to Le Carre in the literary thriller genre.
Those coming late to the game, like me, are perhaps dimly aware of Alan Furst's prominence, lately, as _the_ World War II spy thriller writer. He's far too young to have any firsthand knowledge of the war, but he spent some of his early life in Paris, a city prominently featured in many of his novels, and he has clearly drank deeply from the well of mid-twentieth century fiction and autobiography. Hemingway, Orwell, Koestler, Solzhenitsyn, certainly, but also, I think, Sholokhov, Sartre, Babel, and other writers who lived through -- or died in -- Europe's cataclysmic struggle with Communism and Fascism: Furst seems to have read them all, digested them and managed to put them back together in a very compelling manner.

Night Soldiers follows a young Bulgarian man, Khristo Stoianev, who is ... Read More

- Terrific Read
I discovered this book by accident and, boy, am I glad I did. Alan Furst's writing, plotting and setting are absolutely superb.
It's the kind of book you don't want to end: atmospheric, believable and realistic characters, suspense, action, all set in the highly-charged environment of wartime Europe. And he has the ability to put the reader in the midst of all this.
After reading Night Soldiers I made a point of reading all his novels. Each one is terrific. I only hope his sagas continue.
