Basil St. Florian is an accomplished agent in the British Army, tasked with dozens of dangerous missions for crown and country across the globe. But his current mission, going undercover in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, might be his toughest assignment yet. He will be searching for an ecclesiastic manuscript that doesn't officially exist, one that genius professor Alan Turing believes may hold the key to a code that could prevent the death 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, though, Basil's Army superiors know he's the best man for the job, carrying out his espionage with enough charm and quick wit to make any of his subjects lower their guards.

Action-packed and bursting with WWII-era intrigue (much of which has basis in fact), Basil's War is a classic espionage thriller from Pulitzer Prize-winning critic, essayist, and best-selling novelist Stephen Hunter.

I enjoyed the story and the slightly different opinions from the usual to the Germans and the resistance.
The narrator was a bit irritating to start with with the upturn at the end of phrases.

Loved Basil…

Quite honestly one of the worst books to which I've ever listened. Reminded me of some of the worst comic book stories I read as a child. I'm so annoyed with myself for persisting with it as long as I did. I really it would improve as I went further with it. Suffice to say it didn't. Dreadful listen

Cartoon -like characters and clichéd dialogue.
