About this listen

 May, 1941. At four in the morning, a rust-streaked tramp freighter streams up the Tagus River to dock at the port of Lisbon. She is the Santa Rosa; she 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. Only she is not the Santa Rosa, she is the Noordendam, a Dutch freighter that sails for the Intelligence Division of the British Royal Navy and she will load detection equipment for a clandestine operation on the Swedish coast -- a secret mission, a dark voyage. Here is an epic tale of war and espionage, of spies and fugitives, of love in secret hotel rooms, of courage in the face of impossible odds. 20th Century Espionage Historical Historical Fiction Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Military War Imperialism Royal Navy Portugal

What a formidable combination Alan Furst and George Guidall make.
Alan Furst’s knowledge of Europe and the complexities of the period are seriously impressive. He’s one heck of a researcher and his writing and storytelling… wow!

Hugely enjoyable.

A slow-burning but absorbing story told with insight and humanity which builds towards a quietly heroc ending.

Fascinating insight into the role of a requisitioned Allied merchant ship during WW2
