Impressively authentic, immaculately researched and written with true quality and style, Spy Games is one of the best spy thrillers you will read this year * Lancashire Evening Post * A spy thriller for the 21st century * Sunday Post * Brookes' second novel is a multipronged spy thriller that fires on all cylinders. A smarter or more exciting mystery likely won't be released this year. * Kirkus (starred review) * Adam Brookes is the new Le Carre - without question this is the best modern spy novel I have ever read . . . Read this. It's perfect. * Manda Scott * Brookes knows modern China, he seemingly knows the British secret service and, most importantly, he knows how to tell a good story. The splendid result is this rich, can't-put-it-down thriller. A terrific read. * Joseph Kanon - author of The Good German and Leaving Berlin * Brookes's expertly orchestrated novel couldn't be more topical . . . exhilaratingly shows how readily the old-school international spy thriller can be retooled for the era of globalisation, the internet and a superpower's emergence * Sunday Times * Authentic, taut and compelling. Brookes is the real deal * Charles Cumming * Brookes shows that his impressive debut was no fluke, and readers will look forward to Mangan's next adventure * Publishers Weekly * This would make a superb television spy drama. I really didn't want it to end. A terrific heart-thumping spy thriller. * Northern Crime Reviews * Cements Brookes' reputation as a superb spy novelist and draws comparisons with other espionage heavyweights including John le Carre. * Sun * Authentic, taut and compelling. Brookes is the real deal * Charles Cumming *
