Night Soldiers

BEFORE ARMIES CLASH, A SILENT WAR RAGES. THE WAR OF THE NIGHT SOLDIERS

1934. Europe is a short-fused powder keg, and from the East comes just the man to light it: Khristo Stoianev, a new recruit of Russia's elite intelligence corps, the NKVD. Khristo is a night soldier fighting a new kind of war in which the killing is secret, calculated, efficient.

But now Khristo is a hunted man. While covertly tipping the scales of Spain's bloody Civil War, he is betrayed by his own during Stalin's ruthless purges. And before Khristo's silent war has ended, every rule will have been broken, all loyalties discarded.

He will know the chaotic decadence of Paris on the eve of its occupation and the heat of guerilla warfare with the French Resistance. He will be saved more than once by those fighting by his side--both enemy and ally. He will be shattered by the loss of the only woman who knew his real name. Khristo is a "non-person" whose world is both home and hell ... who learns that even revenge is not as sweet as escape.
