Short review: I really like spy novels. This is the best series of any modern spy novels that I have read. The characters are much more nuanced and believable than the older cold war spy novels, but that also means that the good guys are not as good and the bad guys are not as evil. What many people will not like about this book is the way it deals with time lines. It tells about 1/3 of the story from a single character (not Milo Weaver) then from there flips around to a bunch of different characters. There is an ending, but then what is essentially an epilogue that catches the reader up with the other characters and tells you why things happened the way that they did.
