Download The Mission Song AudioBook Free
Abandoned by both his Irish father and Congolese mother, Bruno Salvador has long looked for someone to guide his life. He has found it in Mr. Anderson of British Intelligence.Bruno's African upbringing, and fluency in various African languages, has made him a top interpreter in London, beneficial to businesses, hospitals, diplomats -- and spies. Doing work for Anderson in a clandestine facility known as the "Chat Room," Salvo (as he's known) translates intercepted calls, bugged recordings, snatched voice mail messages. When Anderson sends him to a mysterious island to interpret throughout a secret conference between Central African warlords, Bruno thinks he's helping Britain bring peace to a bloody corner of the world. But he hears something he should not have....Building after the box office success of le Carre's The Constant Gardener (just like the Mission Song, built around turmoil and conspiracy in Africa) and le Carre's laser eye for the complexity of the modern world (seen in Absolute Friends' prediction that the Iraq war would be predicated on phony and manipulated intelligence), this new novel is a crowning achievement, packed with politics, heart, and the sort of suspense that nobody on the globe does better.
