Pros

Author's reading of his own work is masterful. In books like the tailor of pannama his frustration with american militarism shouts out all other aspects of the book.

A legacy of spies offers the kind of subtlety, humanity and tragedy that is rarely found in the spy genre. There are many interesting twists and as usual there is little honor among spies (until the end) a couple of the characters feel extraneous, and...  Read More

Agent running is a ripping yarn, with now nary a poke at the united states (but more than a few at its leader) he is now in a backwater home assignment (the haven) tending to old defectors when chance and his love of badminton brings him back.
