Superior thriller with good characters and plenty of cynicism about betrayal in the higher echelons of our security agencies. Suspenseful, complicated and worth the effort. ( ) En 2001, poco después de recuperarse de heridas de bala en Venecia, Milo Weaver decidió que, mientras otros se dedican a localizar al Musulmán Más Famoso del Mundo en algún lugar de Afganistán, él dedicarÃa su tiempo a los brazos más quirúrgicos del terrorismo. Cuando alguien como Bin Laden o al-Zarqawi necesita eliminar a una persona concreta, acuden a un profesional. En el mundo del asesinato por encargo, hay pocos mejores que el Tigre. Y pocos tan buscados. Milo asumió entonces que abandonarÃa Turismo, un mundo oscuro lleno de asesinos manejados por el Gobierno de EE UU. Pero Milo ignoraba entonces lo que estaba a punto de sucederle. Comprenderá a El Tigre por fin y, peor aún, la angustia de verse perseguido por las cuentas pendientes del pasado. Un pasado que reaparece relacionándole con una conspiración en Sudán, un asesino suicida y un viejo amigo acusado de vender secretos a China. La CIA y Homeland Segurity ya saben que Milo debe ser eliminado. Él tan sólo encuentra una solución: regresar al submundo de Turismo. Pero no olvida una verdad fundamental: no confiar en nadie. I thought this book was pretty unusual, not your typical spy novel. It was more character-driven than most, but there were plenty of twists and turns and intrigue to keep it interesting. Milo Weaver, the main character, is a former "tourist", a secret group that travels a lot doing black op jobs for a secret US government agency, perhaps the CIA. I forget, but it doesn't matter except to those that care, like other secret agencies. Mainly, they're all spies. The book starts with Milo in a gunfight, lying low but tempted to just stand up and get shot. He's tired of it all, and dying sounds like as good a solution as any, since it's not easy to just quit and live to a ripe old age when you know too many secrets. Milo has a wife and daughter that he cares about, so he is trying to retire, but that wouldn't make for a very good story, so of course, he can't. Most of the book is concerned with trying to figure out who are the good guys, and who are not so good. Nobody seems to know, least of all me. I'm still not 100% sure, so I'm moving right on to the next book to see if I can figure out what's happening. I've already read a little, and it starts out pretty good, with many of the same people and concerning the same operation, it seems. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: "There are tourists from all over the world. Most of them want to kill you."â??The Black Book of Tourism In this contemporary international thriller that is reminiscent of John le Carré and Graham Greene, Milo Weaver has tried to leave his old life of secrets and lies behind by giving up his job as a "tourist" for the CIAâ??an undercover agent with no home, no identityâ??and working a desk at the CIA's New York headquarters. But staying retired from the field becomes impossible when the arrest of a long-sought-after assassin sets off an investigation into one of Milo's oldest colleagues and friends. Soon Milo is drawn into a conspiracy that links riots in the Sudan, an assassin committing suicide, and an old friend who's been accused of selling secrets to the Chinese. With new layers of intrigue being exposed in his old cases, and with the CIA and Homeland Security after him, he has no choice but to go back undercover and find out who's been pulling the strings once and for all.
