Synopsis

Bulgaria, 1934. A young man is murdered by the local fascists. His brother, Khristo Stoianev, is recruited into the NKVD, the Soviet secret intelligence service, and sent to Spain to serve in its civil war. Warned that he is about to become a victim of Stalin's purges, Khristo flees to Paris. Night Soldiers masterfully re-creates the European world of 1934-45: the struggle between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia for Eastern Europe, the last desperate gaiety of the beau monde in 1937 Paris, and guerrilla operations with the French underground in 1944. Night Soldiers is a scrupulously researched panoramic novel, a work on a grand scale.

Book Overview: Alan Furst's star is on the ascendency - after years of stunning reviews but conservative sales, his last book Blood of Victory was a New York Times bestseller. Phoenix now has 5 backlist titles which form part of our plan to capitalise on this success Night Soldiers was the first book in which Alan Furst concentrated on the pre-war decade - a time frame which has now become his trademark. 'The history is deftly incorporated; the viewpoint is civilized; the characters and the settings picturesque; the adventures exciting; the writing pungent' New York Times.
