Not bad spy and ship story. Ending seemed abrupt though. ( )

My favorite of the many books by this author I've read. The ship's captain is indelibly drawn, and Furst draws the several wonderful locales utterly specifically. His balance here among despair, glory, bliss, and everyday labor--always a strong point!--is particularly fine. ( )

It's all here. It's Furst. There are spies, World War II is unfolding. There are people finding physical consolation if not romance to escape their surroundings. There's historical accuracy with the places, the physical things they deal with and use. The surprise for me is the nautical setting. Furst is comfortable at sea as well as on land. Yes it's all overtaken by the unfolding events. They are small pieces unable to move the universe in the direction they would like it to go. I missed Polanyi but there were Dutch stand-ins. WWII was an equal opportunity abuser. Definitely worth the read. ( )

Dutch merchantman pressed into service by Brit Intell against Germans in Baltic
  ritaer | Aug 24, 2021 |
In May, 1941, a creaky old cargo ship, the Santa Rosa, ties up in the port of Lisbon to load cork, canned goods, and cooking oil bound for the port of Malmo on the Baltic Sea. But the Santa Rosa is really the Dutch ship Noordendam, and her captain Eric DeHaan, has been commissioned by the Dutch government in exile to work with the British secret service.

DeHaan is the typical Furst hero - a world weary msn of middle age who nonetheless, is a dedicated anti-fascist and not only brave, but also compassionate, especially towards his motley international crew who are all fugitives from something or other. Furst perfectly portrays the role of the spy steamer - long periods of fairly mundane work followed by bursts of abject terror. This book will have you on the edge of your chair from beginning to end. ( )

Near the middle of Alan Furst's new novel, ''Dark Voyage,'' Busby Berkeley's 1933 musical ''Footlight Parade'' is screened on the deck of a tramp freighter sailing from Tangier to Lisbon. The projector runs too fast, and the wind off the water distorts the sheet serving as the screen. Not all the crew speak English but they speak the lingua of the movie. It's a fun-house midnight matinee, and a strangely poetic one.

That fast-forwarded film on a flapping screen in front of a polyglot crew could almost be a metaphor for the odd shapes and rhythms Furst has brought to another familiar genre, the World War II espionage thriller. ''Dark Voyage'' is the eighth of his wonderful spy novels, and there are passages that could be passed off as the work of both a meticulous narrative craftsman at the top of his game and a symbolist poet. Flip the book open at random and pull out a sentence: ''A white city, and steep; alleys, souks and cafes, their patrons gathering for love and business as the light faded away''; ''Tile floor, bare wooden tables, a few customers, more than one reading a newspaper with dinner''; ''He had once, in some forgotten port, watched sailors in the Soviet Navy as they smeared paint on with their hands''; ''Black, oval cigarettes with gold rims, and heavy perfume''; ''By then it was very late, the tables mostly deserted, and the propriétaire opened the door for them as they left, letting in the cool April night.'' . . .

In the first nineteenth months of European war, from September, 1939, to March of 1941, the island nation of Britain and her allies lost, to U-boat, air, and sea attack, to mines and maritime disaster, one thousand, five hundred and ninety-six merchant vessels.

It was the job of the Intelligence Division of the Royal Navy to stop it, and so, on the last day of April, 1941 . . . [sic.]
