About this listen

A nest of espionage. A break for the border. A race to survive. An astounding WWII espionage thriller from a modern master of the genre, Sea of Spies is a triumph, perfect for fans of Alan Furst, John le Carré and Robert Harris.

The Allies are desperate to stop neutral Turkey supplying vital materials to the Nazis - materials which could help them win the war. But then a British agent makes a fatal mistake and disappears in Istanbul. In England, detective-turned-spy Richard Prince - back from a clandestine mission in Nazi-occupied Europe - is hunting for his lost son. Before long he is drawn into a dangerous follow-up operation, posing as a journalist in Turkey. The mission soon goes wrong. Out of touch with London and stranded hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, Prince will have to find evidence of the Turks secret trade with the Nazis, as well as a way out. Chances of survival? Low. Chance of completing his mission? Prince will do whatever it takes.

“Your papers please.”

An exciting follow up to the first Prince novel. It is well written and full of enough detail to provide a great atmosphere without being tedious. Just enough paranoia to keep you guessing, but not wearing the reader/listener out. As a WW2 buff, the story seems very accurate. Well done.

Excellent WW II spy movel

Good plot. Characters well defined. The “bad” guys are not clownish or cartoonish, as in many novels. Highly recommend to anybody who enjoys this genre.

Excellent addition to the series

Alex Gerlis turns out another outstanding plot using Richard Prince as the focus. Prince takes care of business on the continent and at home in England. It's just generally a good effort that I strongly recommend. The great narration by Rupert Bush raises the book to another level.

Totally Captivating - like the series

This is the 2nd book in the series, and just as amazing as the first. It is the tale of a British police inspector who turned Spy. In this installment, he is sent behind Nazi lines to obtain intelligence on the Turkish (supposedly a neutral country) government supplying Germany with Chromium, an essential ingredient in armor and stainless steel. The detail takes you along for that ride. It is so good you have a hard time putting it down.

I’m hooked!

Thoroughly enjoy these book by Alex Gerlis. They help us remember there were many people that gave their lives behind the scenes, risking and making the ultimate sacrifice just as much as our Allied Troops on the battlefields
I really enjoy the time lines provided as they provide a great reference as to what was going on at that at point during WWII.

Great listen

Really enjoyed this book. Narrator was excellent. Story never bogged down. Arthur seems to be hitting his groove. Can’t wait to listen to the next one.
