Simon Conway writes a terrific spy thriller that takes readers through a global investigation and an agenda hatched by a spy master that would reshape the politics of the free world.
An American spymaster hatches a plan to change the politics of the country by putting it at major risk. To ensure the plan is successful, it must wind a lengthy path through both allies and foes with sophisticated air defense missiles at the center of it. A British agent, codenamed Chuff finds herself in the eye of the storm as she is tasked with unveiling a piece of the puzzle, unaware that her handlers have a bigger picture in mind that doesn’t necessarily bode well for her. With the clock ticking to a devastating attack, Chuff must play any and all sides to ensure she can stop the attack and walk out unscathed, especially when her options dwindle to one or the other.
Conway crafts a complex web of intrigue and suspense that is as timely as it is poignant with the state of the world as it is today. Hot from the news and theories from those who follow geopolitical affairs, The British Agent is a fast-paced read that slows down just the right amount for the details to set the stage for each new twisty development. Chuff is a badass protagonist with an attitude to match as well as a soft corner that helps the reader emphasize with her for all her flaws and mistakes. It’s her tenacity as the underdog when all odds are against her that make her worth rooting for as a genuine character.
The British Agent is a thrilling adventure that infuses the DNA of Le Carre’s spy-laden stories and characters with the modern climate of extremists and untrusting allies who each have their own agendas.
