I liked this one so much better than the first! Better story, better writing, a few nice little "oh crap" moments, etc...
And of course I'm casting the movie in my head as I go along... I think this one would make a great movie. I'm loving the Erika S. character!

The second installment of the story of Milo Weaver. A spy, who wants to be a good father and husband. Needless to say he's a little challenged to be good at all three roles.
This was a good story but not as good as the first, The Tourist.

Short review: This book and The Tourist are great spy books. If you like the Borne movies, you will love these. I think these books are better than the original Borne books, but more similar in feel to the Borne movies (because the world they are set in is more similar.)

This book was as just as good or even better than "The Tourist." Lots of violence and shocking, shifting realities in this one as well as some morally objectionable assignments. How can one be "good" when one's superiors confuse patriotism with concealing the bad behavior of officials. Yours not to reason why but to execute without questioning. This book is all about knowing when to disobey orders. The plot is Ludlum like with many twists and turns and nothing is as it seems. It initially appears the book is over with 60 pages to go. Nothing could be further from the truth!! The ending is violent and ambiguous in that we are left wondering if Milo Weaver will return or not in Book Three.

Not as good as the tourist- it didn't come together until the end.

Hard to put down. Wow what a story. These plots are crazy, you never know what will happen. Now at least we know more about Milo and his background. I really liked the Erica Schwarz character, a bottle of riesling and a snickers every single day... That is one crazy diet.

Too many adjectives, too many stock characters but the plot was satisfyingly twisty.
michael_k's review against another edition
Μια πολύ ικανοποιητική συνέχεια στις περιπέτειες του Μάιλο Γουίβερ με τις ανατροπές να έχουν έντονη παρουσία σε αυ´το οτ βιβλίο. Ενα πολύ καλογραμμένο σύγχρονο κατασκοπευτικό μυθιστόρημα. Αποφεύγει τις εύκολες λύσεις και καταφέρνει να είναι πειστικό και να εμβαθύνει στον ψυχισμό του ήρωα αλλά και στο κλίμα των κύκλων που κινείται. Ωραία πλοκή, καλός ρυθμός και αρκετές στιγμές έντασης.
Δείτε λίγο περισσότερα στο Ex Libris.

Enjoyable sequel to The Tourist, although this book depends on having read the first for some background understanding. We probably haven't heard the last of Milo Weaver.
