A daredevil British agent goes behind enemy lines in this WWII-era
spy thriller from Pulitzer Prize-winning critic and bestselling
novelist Stephen Hunter. Basil St. Florian is an accomplished agent
in the British Army, completing dangerous missions across the
globe. But going undercover in Nazi-occupied France during World
War II might be his toughest assignment yet. He must search for a
religious manuscript that doesn't officially exist, one that genius
professor Alan Turing believes may crack a code that could prevent
the deaths of millions and possibly even end the war. St. Florian
isn't the classic British special agent with a stiff upper lip - he
is a swashbuckling, whisky-drinking cynic and thrill-seeker who
resents having to leave Vivien Leigh's bed to set out on his
crucial mission. Despite these proclivities, Basil's superiors know
he's the best man for the job, with enough charm and quick wit to
make his foes lower their guards. Action-packed and bursting with
intrigue (much of which has basis in fact), Basil's War is a
classic espionage thriller. Reviews for Stephen Hunter: 'An
outstanding WWII spy thriller' Nelson DeMille 'One of the best
thriller novelists around' Washington Post 'The front rank of the
thriller novelists' People
