A Spy at Twilight

This was an interesting period of time; authors were still giving us the tried and true spy vs. spy and the USSR was on its last legs. This is one of those books, but it is very good. The author peppers the book with plot twists that keep the reader on his toes. You cannot take his work for granted; so much is going on that if you get a little complacent you miss things. The characters are also kind of cagey; they tend to surprise you at times. Overall, this is one of the better books from the end of the cold war.

The detail and brilliance Comrade Forbes goes into when writing his book is astounding. The twists have twists, shaded with the grim glow of realism.
