Six Days of the Condor by James Grady
4.0
I did not know there were agents who read spy fiction for a living. Where can I apply? Not that I want to experience what happens to poor Malcolm though. All his colleagues murdered and every intelligence agency in town on his tail for one reason or another. There are better ways to start a day. Something is very wrong within the CIA and he's on the receiving end of it. And Malcolm, now the Condor, is not even properly trained for all of this. He is pretty inventive though. Or lucky. Hard to say.
A chase thriller that immediately picks up steam and goes from action to reflection and back again. Several nail-biting scenes, but I enjoyed the times when the story focused on somebody called the old man, how he's trying to make sense of it all and reel the Condor in, as well. Wonderful character. Not that there is a lot of character work here. Very little actually. Characters are mainly pawns. This is a game of strategy. A deadly game of chess. And it's quite the rollercoaster if you ask me.
C'est la guerre.
