Penzler has certainly assembled a fine cast of recognized authors whose specialty lies in the government intelligence/counter-intelligence genre. Readers accustomed to the typical character- and plot-development of popular mystery thrillers may prefer to shy away from these stories. J.P. Miller, Cambridge, MA
