Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. 1331 ( ) I finished reading this book a few days ago, and I'm still not quite sure what to think of it. It's interesting, technically, since it's full of spies and international highjinx that are loosely based on historical fact, but it just wasn't that engaging. I think a lot of my lack of interest is due to the fact that all of the characters are rather flat (seriously, even James Bond is more developed as a person, and he's really not a great example of a well-written personality) and barely seem interested in their jobs. They're either suffering from PTSD, but raring to get back in the game, or they're shouting at eachother about not being allowed to do things, and even all of that doesn't seem to quite follow through... Slightly disappointed, since I really wanted to like this series :( A gritty and believable modern day spy story. Tara Chace is one of three 'minders' (special agents) who are routinely sent on dangerous missions to the world's hotspots. The book also focuses on the management such people by senior officials, and their relationship to other intelligence agencies. Obviously well-researched, the book shows the less glamourous side of intelligence work: waiting around, office politics and the minders' problems with PTSD and alcohol. The characters are very job-focused and closed. It's hard to read much into them, even Tara. A graphic novel series about the British version of the CIA (operatives that only work on foreign soil). Even though the novel is very plot driven and doesn't really provide background information on the operatives (unless you count the blurbs in the beginning which I don't because really they only describe people's positions in the organization); I was still really interested in the characters, their interactions with each other and with the shrink. Too bad my library doesn't carry any of these. A graphic novel series about the British version of the CIA (operatives that only work on foreign soil).
