Acerca de esta escucha

New York Times bestselling author Alan Furst is widely recognized as master of the historical spy novel. Furst’s works are vivid evocations of long-forgotten heroes and feature plots that unfold to the inexorable cadence of history. Night Soldiers is a simultaneously thrilling and illuminating tale of espionage set in 1934.

In Vidin, Bulgaria, where the flow of the river Danube has always brought thieves and conquerors, Khristo Stoianev witnesses his younger brother kicked to death by fascist militia. These are simple men of a backwater town, costumed in fresh uniforms emblazoned with a flaming cross insignia. But behind their barbaric actions stands the swastika.

From the terror-plagued Balkans, Khristo, a virgin in the ways of the outside world, is drawn east, toward Moscow and a new life as a Soviet spy.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Furst shows a remarkable talent in his fifth novel, integrating details about the cultures of Spain, France and Eastern Europe with a fascinating story." (Publishers Weekly)
"Night Soldiers has everything the best thrillers offer, excitement, intrigue, romance, plus grown-up writing, characters that matter, and a crisp, carefully researched portrait of the period in which our own postwar world was shaped." (USA Today)
"Intelligent, ambitious, absorbing....The history is deftly incorporated; the viewpoint civilized; the characters and the settings picturesque; the adventures exciting; the writing pungent." (The New York Times)

Great book, but there are a number of inaccuracies

This is a very good listen as it provides a good insight into the inner workings of the operation of the Russian state security agency (NKVD) and intriguingly describes events of the the prewar and wartime Europe through the eyes of Soviet, British and American spies. The book does have several inaccuracies. One small example is the author's reference to the NKVD personnel driving Pobeda (or Victory) cars in prewar Moscow. That is not possible as the car was first built in 1946 in honor of Soviet victory over Nazi Germany. I like Russian and WWII history and pay attention to details. Because of some of these inaccuracies I rated the book only 4 stars.

struggled

I could not hardly get through this one. I tried and tried to get into the book and couldn't. Through determination I finally finished.

Interesting but far from entertaining

I am not sure why this book is so highly rated. It does capture a interesting period in history but I found it a little long winded and the character development is a little weak.

Up all night with Night Soldiers

Once I got halfway, couldn't put it down. Hearing this book felt like living it. Only minor flaw: Narrator's Spanish, though very good, is accented, not native.

George Guidall, as usual, is awesome

George Guidall could narrate an insurance policy and make it interesting. The story is OK, but awfully slow starting and I found it hard to follow.

So clever...

... that in words of Baudelaire "Ce livre, s'il brule, ne peut bruler qu'a la maniere de la glace".

I Love This Book!

Great story and well-researched. So well-written that you are immersed in the adventure. And the narration. Is absolutely perfect.

OK, but nothing really special

To be fair to this book, I had just finished Woud's "War and Remembrance" and so there are very few books that could even come close to the power. However, my opinion doesn't change when I think of it relative to some other fiction (historical fiction) I've read. It's an OK story. It's well told and it takes place (at least in part) in a part of the world (Bulgaria) with which I am less familiar. But it didn't really grip me. When it ended, I had to listen to the last two chapters again to be sure I hadn't spaced out and missed anything. It's the first Furst novel I've read and I'm not rushing to add others. I do like Guidall in general.

Best Furst book I've heard

I've listened to 5 or 6 of Alan Furst's books and this is the best. Guidall is exceptional as always.
