Welcome to Litsy!

This book is well written and tells a compelling story, striking a balance between avoiding the dull and dry procedural elements & not turning the spy craft elements into a Bond/Bourne parody. Nonetheless it was hard for me to read at times.

As a #longtimefed I‘ve never been a big fan of real life espionage stories, but it hits differently at this stage in history. That‘s probably about the finest point I can put on it or need to put on it…

1. Still can't believe I got a tattoo about two and a half weeks ago! 😳
2. A friend gifted me the dragon when she heard I got the dragonfly tattoo and that I was also reading Fourth Wing
3. + 4. For sure, I'm getting a betta fish tattoo on my left thigh by the end of the year. Unsure about the stylized dragonfly tattoo
5. I'm so glad I have bookish friends here at Litsy and at the IRL Book Circle at the library

This is one of my favorite series. I love revisiting this family from time to time. This book was full of adventure and danger (just like always). At this point, time is truly irrelevant as they have changed the course of time. They live in an alternate timeline. I love how they can effect change in their world and bring things from the present back with them despite the dangers that they face. I rated it 5 stars. (from January)

This library hold came in, + I started the book, as the current events in Syria hit the headlines. A very good spy thriller set in the country 10 years ago as revolution threatens the Assad regime who are experimenting with poison gas. A cia operative runs a mole + falls for her as she spys on the regime. The hunt for the mole, discovery of the hidden weapons is well done. The news + revelation of horror, however, made it an uncomfortable read

4.75⭐
⬗ I could not stop listening…so good. This wasn‘t my first book by this author, but it is now my favorite, and it was her debut. As far as believability, it was believable while you were in it, experiencing it. Upon reflection, maybe everything didn‘t quite hold up, but it didn't matter because I was still captivated. Also, I think the author should explore the possibility of a continuation.
⬗ The narration by Mia Barron was decent.

Did you know that in the movie “Argo“, Ben Affleck played Tony Mendez?

In real life, Mendez was a master of disguise during his career in the CIA. I just wonder what stories he can't tell because those stories have got to be another blockbuster movie or two!

CIA Agent Mac Decker “died” shortly after being accused as a traitor when his long term friend Ilya Ivashka defected to Russia. Actually Decker was framed, and faking his death, has been living under another identity in Switzerland. Then he learns that his son has died while involved in a CIA action. Mac comes out of the shadows and, with his Mossad lover, sets out to right the wrong. Everything tied up in a neat bow at the end. A fun read!
