Helpful Score: 1
The best spy thriller I have read since the heyday of Robert Ludlum. Today's thriller writers all have developed the same plot since 2001 - super hero saves American from nuclear terrorist attack. In fact, that is exactly what The Faithful Spy, Alex Berenson's debut novel, was about. Thankfully Berenson breaks the mold and creates a spy story about, gasp, espionage! As good a Clancy, the book is riveting. Berenson, A NY Times liberal, tosses in the obligatory Bush bashing and moral relativism of the GWOT but does so in small doses. A 5-star spy novel.
