Overview

Vienna, 1984. Fifty years after his first visit, retired British General Sir Herbert Christie returns to the city where he first knew romantic love and loss in the midst of civil war. But the opening of his Austrian uncle’s time-capsule legacy entangles his family in a web of Cold War espionage, and forces him to confront his past and his faith as never before.

Praise for Vienna

“From the opening line, you know you are in the hands of a masterful, meticulous, and profound storyteller. This is a compelling tale of faith under pressure.”

—Luke Coppen, Editor, Catholic Herald



“Pre- and post-war Vienna is the setting for this journey into the murky realms of memory, identity, espionage, faith, and family ties. Nick Thomas is an expert guide in this compelling and beautifully written story.”

—Lance Stone, minister, The English Reformed Church, Amsterdam
