The first three books in the Alex Kovacs thriller series, collected in a single volume: Vienna at Nightfall, The Spies of Zurich, and The Lyon Resistance. So who is Alex Kovacs? Born in Czechoslovakia, raised in Vienna, a salesman traveling throughout Austria and Germany, Alex is a cosmopolitan nomad drawn into the building European crisis. He is a reluctant spy at first, but as the crisis builds on the continent and as the Nazi steamroller gains momentum, we watch him forced to move from country to country and experience with him as his life evolves and his commitment grows, from courier to espionage agent to Resistance fighter. Three-quarters of the reviews have been 5-stars. Here is a sampling: “Richard Wake tells a really good story! His storytelling reminds me a bit of the Bernie Gunther novels by Philip Kerr. The characters are likable, the story is paced well and there's the right amount of suspense.” “He really knows his stuff.” “I love this author! Compelling story line with great writing. His writing is clever but not pretentious. Characters are interesting and yet realistic. Not over done.” “Richard Wake's Alex Kovacs thrillers are among the most intelligent and entertaining in this genre. I've been a fan of Alan Furst and Phillip Kerr for years, and am happy to have discovered Wake's brilliant new books.” “Having read Wake's first three books nearly non stop I say without reservation he is without doubt one of the top three finest new writers to be published in the last decade. He has a unique writing ability to make one feel they are living the characters own experiences and feeling their emotions, beliefs and ambitions.” Buy this collection and get started on a great new thriller series!
