Synopsis

Look in the mirror: You're nobody anybody knows. You know pursuing the truth will get you killed. But you refuse to just fade away.

So you're designated an enemy of the largest secret national security apparatus in America's history. Good guys or bad guys, it doesn't matter: All assassins' guns are aimed at you. And you run for your life branded with the code name you made iconic: Condor.

Everyone you care about is pulled into the gunsights. The CIA star young enough to be your daughter-she might shoot you or save you. The savvy political aide who lets love trump the law. The lonely woman your romantic dreams make a fugitive. The Middle Eastern child warrior you mentored into a master spy.

Last Days of the Condor is the bullet-paced, ticking clock saga of America on the edge of our most startling spy world revolution since 9/11. Set in the savage streets and Kafkaesque corridors of Washington, DC, shot through with sex and suspense, with secret agent tradecraft and full-speed action, with hunters and the hunted, Last Days of the Condor is a breakneck saga of America's secrets from muckraking investigative reporter and author James Grady.

Goodreads review by Mr.

First of all, I am being generous giving this book two measly stars. This short novel, at barely 300 pages, could have been so much more of everything. The author wrote in a first/third person point of view that flips back and forth with italics print and a regular narration. To further complicate th......more

Goodreads review by Lance

We rarely see fictional covert operatives when they're old enough to qualify for Medicare. They either stay 38 through their entire series (a la James Bond), or they age chronologically but not physically, mentally, or behaviorally (such as Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon). So what exactly does happen......more

Goodreads review by Diana

Once again James Grady delivers a fascinating look into the life of a covert agent. This book isn't as good as Six Days of the Condor – – it's better! It has the polish and elegance of a writer who is now mature and at his best . His craft is finely honed and written in an untraditional, interesting......more
