Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. The first in the Gregory Sallust series and one I have not come across previously. An exciting thriller set in France and, like all good spy stories, involves danger, intrigue and women. On a par with Ian Fleming, although before James Bond came on the scene. I shall be reading more of this series. A great read! I was given a digital copy of this novel by the publisher via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

'Before there was James Bond, there was Gregory Sallust.' Tina Rosenberg, Salon.comContraband is the first in Dennis Wheatley's bestselling Gregory Sallust series featuring the debonair spy Gregory Sallust, a forerunner to Ian Fleming's James Bond.Gregory Sallust is a British Intelligence agent; a self-reliant thrill seeker with a love of adventure and a weakness for women.As Sallust enjoys a holiday in France before starting a new mission, he is intrigued by a beautiful woman in a casino. Captivated by the elusive Sabine, he follows her to a rendezvous with a mystery airman at midnight. The next morning, Sallust finds himself under attack and, although he escapes danger, Sabine disappears.Returning to England, Sallust discovers a ring of smugglers orchestrating the dispatch of heavy bombers with contraband goods. When he discovers that an inspector from Scotland Yard is also on the case, and that Sabine may be involved, his loyalties are torn.In a thrilling start to the Gregory Sallust series, Contraband is a story of international intrigue where planes flit by night to secret landing grounds, and near-death experiences are masterfully stretched to nail-biting conclusions.

I have been a fan of the Gregory Sallust war adventure series since the 1970’s. To date I have only been able to find and read (not necessarily own) the first 4. I have been waiting for the reissues to start, and now that they have I will keep the war series separated from “all other” books with the Gregory Sallust character.
Enjoyable read.
