" Perhaps the best espionage book I've ever read. By far the best Charles McCarry out there IMHO. However please note, if you are an easily offended Christian, you might want to pass on this one. "

" After a long time away from writing about Paul Christopher, McCarry returns in masterful form. All the usual suspects are here, along with the typical byzantine plot and surprises. In reading this I felt like an old friend with whom I had lost touch had returned. "

" This was, surprisingly, excellent. I initially though "Oh, not another spy story!", but it's so well written, with a very dry wit. Definitely worth a read. "

" I like this book in the same way I liked Carmen Sandiego, the computer game. It introduces me to exotic locales. Otherwise, it's of little worth. "

" The main downside to the end of the cold war was the demise of the intellectual spy novel. This one solves that problem. "

" This is a new author for me deemed to be the best espionage writer today. You can tell he definitely use to be a spy for the CIA. It was a good mystery! "

" Like Ross Thomas and Graham Greene (at least, Greene's espionage fiction), McCarry relies on wit and solid characterization to carry his story. In this case, the subplot involving Saul of Tarsus as Christ's "handler" is one of the funnier and more fascinating leitmotifs in spy fiction. "

" A really entertaining, intelligent spy novel. John LeCarre meets Ross Thomas. Exotic settings, danger galore, quirky characters, black humor.
Pure fun, basically.
