DESCRIPTION:
switterbug/Betsey Van Horn said Round three. In Steinhauer's third installment of CIA double-secret operative Milo Weaver, Milo is cutting his losses due to the violent vanquishing of The Tourist department, and trying to make a go of civilian life. His wife and daughter matter more than his ties to the CIA. His former boss, Alan Drummond, is inconsolable and guilt-stricken. The few Tourists (a liberal euphemism for "trained assassin") that remain alive are scattered around the globe, and one in particular, Leticia Jones, has enigmatic resources a. Milo Weaver #3: A very reluctant spy bookaddict I was not disappointed by the third installment of Olen Steinhauer's trilogy featuring Milo Weaver, former CIA spy. As in the first two installments, Olen Steinhauer has crafted a complex and interesting plot. Some have argued that it is so complex that it is hard to follow; I didn't find it too complex, but I admit that it was useful to have the Kindle version so that I could search for names that had appeared previously.

When Alan uses one of Milo's compromised aliases to travel to London and then disappears, calling all kinds of attention to his actions, Milo can't help but go in search of him. Worse still, it's beginning to look as if Tourism's enemies are gearing up for a final, fatal blow. With only a handful of "tourists" - CIA-trained assassins - left, Weaver would like to move on and use this as an opportunity to regain a normal life, a life focused on his family. With An American Spy, Olen Steinhauer, by far the best espionage writer in a generation, delivers a searing international thriller that will settle once and for all who is pulling the strings and who is being played.. His former boss in the CIA, Alan Drummond, can't let it go. Following on the heels of these two spectacular novels comes An American Spy, Olen Steinha
