The idea that spy stories are male dominant tales has been somewhat intrinsically interwoven in the fabric of literature dating back over a century. True, you have stories about spies which include women, but those typically include romantic interludes and side stories. The main and central female characters in the majority of spy movies and most other novels tend to be helpless or in need of one of the central male characters in some way. O.L.D. does a great job of playing on these stereotypes and then smashing them to pieces with one of the baddest and boldest women in the spy genre.
This book is highly entertaining from start to finish, and it provides an immediate hook. There is no wasted time in background or establishing backstories, instead this is all provided throughout and interwoven seamlessly (this would make a GREAT MOVIE!). The book provides a nostalgic homage to cold war era espionage while dishing out something for everyone--from action to comedy, to romance and SciFi. The Author provides wonderful and rich narratives which really showcase the depth he went to with his research and understanding of the places and times he was writing about. It is a very quick and light read, perfect for a day or two on the beach or pool side. And if digital isn't for you, I would really recommend you consider the paperback, as the artwork and cover would make a great addition to any bookshelf or coffee table. No spoilers here, but theres also a nice springboard to a potential series moving forward...(hint, hint Christopher Kugler!).
