Narrative In Pursuance Of Books The Deceiver

As an intrepid and inventive field agent, McCready's independent style has often driven him beyond the rules. He has not been afraid to press the CIA to the explosion point - or to play cat-and-mouse with the KGB. He has successfully tricked Qaddafi and the IRA and once even set himself up as governor of a remote Caribbean island torn between Fidel Castor and the Colombian drug trade. But times have changed and mavericks like McCready are an endangered species. Now, before a panel of his peers, McCready must defend his unorthodox exploits or face dismissal. What hangs in the balance is not only his own career, but the very future of British intelligence.

Evaluation Containing Books The Deceiver

Forsyth has done an outstanding job of detailing the circuitous paths of the old espionage game along with giving us a lot of reasons why our world of the technocrat spy really isn't a lot different from the world of dubious political activities taking place during the cold war. The KGB or what would now be called the VSR is still out there being led from the very top by a guy who was once one of the insiders of that organization under Gorbachev. The Colombian drug dealers may have been replaced

" Right, Mr. Jones. Let us go. said McCready. We must be about the Queens business. "The end of the Cold War misguided some political decisions of the British intelligence community, putting agent Sam McCready - the head of the "Deception, Disinformation and Psychological Operations" departmentin - in the verge of an undeserved and somewhat premature retirement. A younger agent tries to revert this situation, by narrating in an audience a compilation of the highlights of his career as a SIS

Oh a collection of short-stories. Four, to be exact. I liked the first two pretty well, the third was okay, and the fourth started not so great and turned into some kind of comedy thriller in the end. The last one pulls the rating down to a not so great 3 ***.

The Deceiver by Frederick Forsyth... Life of a spy after his prime... Great way of combining four books into one... Each one independently has evoked interest to the reader on revealing the main plot...

Frederick Forsyth novels were a familiar fixture in our household when I was growing up, as both my parents loved his work. He was amongst the first adult reads that I was drawn to at the time. So, my love affair with his books began, and over the years I have read everything hes written- keeping up with any new release/s. As my mother has been in and out of hospital quite a lot over the past year and a half, I am keeping her supplied with books to read, and buddy reading them with her, or

The story about an older spy who had outlived his usefulness, now that the Cold War was finished, is used as a backdrop for three shorter tales of his exploits, presented as parts of a hearing about his proposed "retirement". A "novel" approach that worked very well thank you! One was even partly humorous, new territory for Forsyth and his genre. Enjoy!

The Deceiver was a interesting, gripping, exciting, rational, readable read that felt realistic and possible. The main character was described as a complicated, flawed, and experienced intelligence agent. The four stories included in the book could all be read pretty much separately from one another as the book is not really a novel but a collection of short stories. This is definitely one of my favorite thriller reads. Recommended.
