5.0 out of 5 stars
A gem...a witty thriller,
This review is from: Fellow Passenger (Paperback)
One of my favorites, one of the most thrilling and yet funniest books to come out of the Cold War.
The book begins with the hero,Claudio Howard-Wolferstan (half English, half Central American), in the Tower of London, observing philosophically that being imprisoned in the Tower at least puts him at the top of his profession. The hero's adventures are endless -- he ends up pursued both by MI5 and the Soviets -- but he exercises his unique ability to adapt and improvise, so that he navigates these perils like a champion surfer riding so many waves. The book almost reminds me of Hitchcock's "North By Northwest," with suspense balanced by, and somehow sharpened by, humor.
