In 1941, Shanghai’s isolated enclave was battered by storms, and the Japanese naval base at Wusongkou was under tight security. Xu Liang, an underground Communist Party member, assumed the alias Lin Guangfu and infiltrated enemy territory alone, posing as a communications staff officer with the rank of naval lieutenant aboard a Japanese destroyer. Thus began his secret life on the edge of a knife. His exceptional courage earned him the Japanese captain’s trust, but he was constantly targeted by the torpedo officer and subjected to painstaking scrutiny by the Special Higher Police. Danger lurked at every turn. With Fang Rulan, his sole contact, disguised as his lover, he passed along top-secret intelligence amid a web of spies. Their pretend romance gave rise to real feelings, but it also drew the close attention of multiple factions, making every step a peril. Suspicion aboard the ship, watchers in the shadows, and the layered maneuvering of enemy and allied forces: an invisible intelligence network closed in around him. Every mission to steal fleet secrets and relay vital intelligence was a matter of life and death. One wrong move would mean ruin beyond recovery. Amid the undercurrents of a turbulent age, he pressed on through desperate circumstances, bearing his faith and the hatred of a nation and a family. Yet the danger never passed, and the road ahead remained shrouded in mist. Where would this perilous operation, with his life as the stake, ultimately lead?
When I reach middle age, I find that I start to like reading.
I have read a lot of interesting articles about time travel. Reading this book made me calm down a lot. Hahaha, it's pretty good. I've been reading it all afternoon.
A very good anti-war spy novel with a prose style. I like reading it. It would be nice if the author updated it faster. I feel like I read it too quickly. I look forward to the follow-up.
