"The best of the new generation of British spy writers taking over where le Carre and Deighton left off." -- Observer (London) on The Spanish Game "The serpentine twists and the unflaggingly realistic suspense leave you breathless, but spellbound." -- Daily Mail (London) on The Spanish Game "Tautly written, cleverly plotted...reminded me strongly of the early books of John le Carre." -- Robert Harris, author of The Ghost, on A Spy by Nature Six years ago, Alec Milius was released by MI6 after a disasterous operation. His world shattered, Milius has been living in Madrid, attempting to put his former life as a spy behind him, and quitely rebuild his life. But all his plans come crashing down when the head of a separatist movement goes missing, and Milius is lured back into the world of espionage, the brutal world of lies and desperation. This time, though, Milius is forced to work alone - with no back-up, no support, and no one to save him should something go wrong. And in an operation like this, something is certain to go wrong. Horribly wrong.

13 opened so far and I‘ve only read two! Which for a set of random books is pretty impressive!
Looking forward to opening the rest 😁😁

Cinfhen So fun!!! 5y
AlaMich Did it come with preset books or did he choose them? 5y
TrishB @AlaMich when he ordered they emailed and said any particular likes/dislikes/genres. So he used a general statement of nothing too cheesy or soppy....but otherwise reads a bit of everything. I‘m not sure if you could actually pick each book - he didn‘t. I‘ll interrogate him after Christmas!! 5y
