Summary
A nest of espionage. A break for the border. A race to survive. An astounding WWII espionage thriller from a modern master of the genre, Sea of Spies is a triumph, perfect for fans of Alan Furst, John le Carré and Robert Harris.
The Allies are desperate to stop neutral Turkey supplying vital materials to the Nazis - materials which could help them win the war. But then a British agent makes a fatal mistake and disappears in Istanbul. In England, detective-turned-spy Richard Prince - back from a clandestine mission in Nazi-occupied Europe - is hunting for his lost son. Before long he is drawn into a dangerous follow-up operation, posing as a journalist in Turkey. The mission soon goes wrong. Out of touch with London and stranded hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, Prince will have to find evidence of the Turks secret trade with the Nazis, as well as a way out. Chances of survival? Low. Chance of completing his mission? Prince will do whatever it takes.

An excellent follow up
Great story. I did wonder early on if the author was trying to make Richard Prince a bit of a fool. Luck played its part as it does in real life. I'm going to make one big criticism. During his briefings, the intelligence staff make reference to the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley. They mention both the name and the location. Bletchley Park was one of, if not the most secret location of the war. Even if the officers were cleared for the intercept, they would never have mentioned the location of the station and certainly not to an agent going onto enemy territory. Other authors do the same thing.
I am looking forward to listening to volume 3.
Outstanding reading by Rupert Bush, some of his Turkish pronunciation is a bit off, but I'll forgive him that. I am a fluent Turkish (and Russian) speaker but not all of us are!

Escapism, needing to suspend disbelief
The second in the series, this book stretches believability, but is well worth a listen in spite of that.

Great story didn’t want it to end
But the narration is pretty poor. I winced at the pronunciation of so many words and names. Buchan as ‘Bew-Kan’ is just one example
