The Polish Officer: A Novel
One of my favourite Alan Furst's novel I've read so far. This is the life of Alexander de Milja, Polish officer that chooses to live and fight after Warsaw is taken and Poland is no more in 1939.That train ride in the opening chapter was just... yeah. Alexander is one interesting lead character so far my favourite even more than Mercier which I liked a lot. This novel is really a tale of survival by your wits, your will, determination to not let them win even if it means ultimately your life. More spy games than The Spies of Warsaw, the reader is inside Alexander's head as he fights back gathering intel for the British and running into the preparation of operation Sea lion. There is a lot to love in this one.
