Brazzaville

The plane took off. Their story continued.

The final moments at the Casablanca airport left Rick Blaine and Captain Louis Renault walking together into the fog while Ilsa Lund and Victor Laszlo flew toward an uncertain future.

But what happened after that?

As World War II spreads across Europe and North Africa, Rick, Ilsa, Louis, and Sam find their lives pulled once again into a dangerous world of resistance, espionage, shifting loyalties, and unfinished relationships.

At the center of the story is Brazzaville, the code name for Pierre Renault's group of French Resistance fighters based in Morocco. Their clandestine missions take them into the struggle against Nazi Germany and the Vichy government, where old friends and new allies risk everything to fight an enemy whose reach extends across borders.

Rick faces a future he never expected after watching Ilsa leave Casablanca. Louis finds himself drawn deeper into the Resistance. Meanwhile, the war carries familiar faces from Morocco and Portugal to France and beyond as Allied forces prepare for some of the most consequential campaigns of World War II.

Blending fictional characters with the sweeping events of wartime Europe and North Africa, Brazzaville imagines a new chapter for the people whose stories seemed to end on a foggy runway.

What became of Rick and Ilsa? Where did the war take Louis and Sam? And could the friendships forged in Casablanca survive the battles still to come?

For readers who have wondered what might have happened after that famous plane disappeared into the night, Brazzaville: A Sequel to Casablanca offers one possible answer.

The airport was only the beginning.
