Ron Edwards: Aggressively, thoroughly French. I feel French, for a bit, even more than after reading The World at Night. It's also far less fun than the other early Deighton novels, less puckish and wise-ass, more grim and with one of the physically and emotionally nastiest climaxes in any spy novel. Also, do we spy for our governments, or for our personal soap operas? The most admirable character in the story makes them one and the same. The ideologues, including the snarky but always obedient narrator, turn out to be comparative monsters.
