Alec Milius 1: A Spy By Nature - Charles Cumming Reviews
Newest Review: ... very welcome, as it fleshed out the back-story for the characters. This is a world away from the glamour of the Bourne or ... more
... Bond films. Rather than frequently being threatened by gun-toting enemies or elaborate death-traps, the biggest danger to Milius comes from his own tendency to over-complicate things, to worry too much about consequences, or his own paranoia.
