Loved this novel, John. I do think it could lead to disappointment for those expecting an action thriller, but I soaked it up.
I felt that this was an excellent study of a burnt-out intelligence agent and a real killer of the romance attributed to espionage. I liked the immediacy of the first person present tense and I liked having this jaded and warped filter throughout the narrative.
It came with some sacrifices. For example, I found the descriptions of the scenery to have lacked vividness and the action scenes a little disjointed. But this seemed to be true to the point of view you created.
I think I liked this a little more than The Survival of Thomas Ford, but both are going to linger in my mind.
