Dark Voyage

Dark Voyage

by Alan Furst (Author)

Synopsis

May 1941. At four in the morning, a rust-streaked tramp freighter steams up the Tagus river to dock at the port of Lisbon. She is the Santa Rosa, flies the flag of neutral Spain, and is in Lisbon to load cork oak, tinned sardines and drums of cooking oil bound for the Baltic port of Malmo. But she is not the Santa Rosa. She is the Noordendam, a Dutch freighter under the command of Captain Eric DeHaan. She sails for the intelligence division of the British Royal Navy and is involved in a secret mission. On board are a Polish engineer and British spy, Spaniards who fought for Franco and Germans who fought against Hitler. For them, this is a last desperate flight to freedom.

Book Overview: Dark Voyage is a bestseller right across the USA, from New York to Denver to Boston, Seattle and San Francisco Alan Furst's last book Blood of Victory was also a New York Times bestseller for over a month 'Competitors despair. Alan Furst's mastery of the espionage novel puts him beyond any would-be rival...No one does it better than Furst and Dark Voyage is about as good as it gets. First class in every department' Literary Review 'Furst's wartime thrillers have set new standards in the genre and, considering their ultra-readability, I am surprised he is not a permanent fixture on the bestseller lists...Dark Voyage is vintage Furst, with a gripping plot and a galaxy of well-drawn characterst' David Robson, Sunday Telegraph
