Σύγχρονο κατασκοπευτικό μυθιστόρημα που καταφέρνει να ξεφύγει από τα κλισέ και να δώσει μια βαθύτερη προσέγγιση στον κόσμο των πρακτόρων στη σύγχρονη εποχή. Χωρίς να στερείται πλοκής και δράσης, μας βάζει στη σκέψη του κεντρικού ήρωα, τα διλήμματα και τις αμφιβολίες του. Καθοριστικό είναι το κυνήγι της αλήθειας μέσα από ψέματα και μισές αλήθειες, που αναπόφευκτα οδηγούν σε εικασίες που άλλοτε επιβεβαιώνονται και άλλοτε όχι. Αυτό δίνει μια υψηλή αίσθηση ρεαλισμού καθώς κάποια πράγματα παραμένουν στο σκοτάδι ακόμα και όταν ξετυλίγεται όλο το κουβάρι.
Πιστεύω πως αποτελεί ένα πολύ αξιόλογο δείγμα κατασκοπευτικού μυθιστορήματος ικανό να προσεγγίσει και αναγνώστες που δεν τους αρέσει το είδος.

Audio version - i like spy / mysterys and this was among the best I've read in the past year. Surprising ending, unresolved details. Some innuendo, but held my interest.

A fun book to read. Lots of twists, some of which were predictable, most not. Compelling plot, believeable characters.

A terrific, twisty spy thriller. Very well-written with well-realized characters and a story-driven plot that made it hard to put down.

A not bad spy novel, despite some of the ridiculous plot twists. Milo grew on me as the book progressed. I might seek out more Milo, or then again I might not.
