Diary of a Dead Man on Leave by David Downing

3.0

I enjoyed reading it, but I can't call it good. Our MC did very very little to affect the plot beyond basically babysitting, and he keeps saying "ohh I've been such a good spy but because of reasons I can't do that" every single time he needs to do spy things and we never see him in the 'current' timeline doing anything like good or useful to his cause that he supposedly has championed for decades and successfully caused all kinds of chaos for. Didn't ever make me believe that he could be good at his job.
