"With tracks every 3 minutes for easy book marking"--Container.
Narrated by Michael Jayston.
There is no terror so consistent, so elusive, as that which haunts a spy in a strange country. The world into which Avery had been launched had contributed to a state of constant anxiety. He moved through the crowd like a hunted man in search of rest and food.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Human Spies submitted by drouhardte on June 17, 2014, 5:14pm This is a much more realistic, scathing view of spying (and moreso of bureaucracy and management) than Le Carre's previous Smiley novels. If you're looking for smooth operators and institutions that run them like clockwork, this is not your book. It could have felt like an angry internet post about a horrible previous employer, except for the truth, humor, and intrigue that still populate every page. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but had to start over at the beginning once I got halfway through and realized we were in a whole different ballgame with this one.
