I just finished the second and, to-date, final book in the series,
Lion Eyes. I think it's the best spy novel I ever read.
Two things I should admit.
One, I hardly ever read spy novels -- mostly because I generally fail to finish any I start. And
Lion Eyes is as much a romance as a spy book. It's also a mystery, the primary mystery being how much is fiction, and how much, if any, is a memoir.
Two, despite re-reading, I am unable to understand the ending of
Lion Eyes. Berlinski is some sort of genius, so it must be me.
