Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. There are six novellas/short stories in the collection. Like most collections, I really enjoyed some of the stories and others not so much. The best part of the book was reading about an old spy, someone not in their prime. ( )This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I received "Condor: The Short Takes" for free from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. Before diving into this collection of short stories and novellas, I read "Six Days of the Condor", Mr. Grady's debut novel, and the basis for the classic film "Three Days of the Condor" starring Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway. For a long time, I only knew Condor from the film, but Condor from the books is less assured and more ruthless. It's easy to see the cinematic appeal of the original tale. The stories in this collection are different, more intimate, and less straightforward. "Condor.net" is a reimagining of the original with the next generation of CIA spies and 21st century threats. I found it less interesting than the other tales in the collection which feature an older Condor, let out of the Company psychiatric asylum, taking on threats in the V (virtual world) and closer to home. Old man Condor lives life on the edge. But is he wrong about where this world is headed? I'm not sure. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Received this as a free book. The first story "Condor.net" is a remake of the famous "6 Days of the Condor". Waste of time. Remakes should only be limited to movies. Had previously read "Condor In the Stacks". Gave it a two out of five, only because I read it. Confusing mess of words. Won't be reading any other stories in this book, nor any other book by this author. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Belongs to SeriesThe Condor Series (short stories)
In this explosive collection featuring a new introduction on the writing and publication history of Condor, a never-before-published original novella, and short fiction collected for the first time, Grady brings his covert agent into the twenty-first century. From the chaos of 9/11 to the unprecedented Russian cyber threats, Condor is back. In condor.net, the intelligence analyst chases an unfathomable conspiracy that begins in Afghanistan and leads to the secrets of his own superiors. In Caged Daze of the Condor, Jasmine Daze of the Condor, and Next Day of the Condor, the paranoia of National Security's sworn soldier reaches a screaming pitch when he's locked behind the walls of the CIA's private insane asylum. Classified documents in the basement of the Library of Congress draw Condor into a murderous subterranean world where no one can be trusted in Condor in the Stacks. And in Russian Roulette of the Condor, the striking new novella shot through with the biggest spy scandal since the Cold War, the underground patriot faces a dictator determined to turn American politics into an insidious spy game.
