Overview
<b>The legendary CIA spy is back—in a “superb” collection featuring an all-new novella, by the <i>New York Times</i>–bestselling author of <i>Six Days of the Condor </i>(<i>Publishers Weekly, </i>starred review).</b><br>  <br> James Grady, “king of the modern espionage thriller” (George Pelecanos, award-winning writer/producer of <i>The Wire</i>), first introduced his clandestine CIA operative—codename: Condor—in a debut novel that became <i>Three Days of the Condor</i>, one of the key films of the paranoid era of the 1970s, and is now the basis for the hit AT&T original series, <i>Condor</i>, starring Max Irons and William Hurt.<br>  <br> In this explosive collection featuring a new introduction on the writing and publication history of Condor, a never-before-published original novella, and short fiction collected for the first time, Grady brings his covert agent into the twenty-first century. From the chaos of 9/11 to the unprecedented Russian cyber threats, Condor is back.<br>  <br> In <i>condor.net</i>, the intelligence analyst chases an unfathomable conspiracy that begins in Afghanistan and leads to the secrets of his own superiors. In <i>Caged Daze of the Condor</i>, <i>Jasmine Daze of the Condor</i>, and <i>Next Day of the Condor,</i> the paranoia of National Security’s sworn soldier reaches a screaming pitch when he’s locked behind the walls of the CIA’s private insane asylum. Classified documents in the basement of the Library of Congress draw Condor into a murderous subterranean world where no one can be trusted in <i>Condor in the Stacks</i>. And in <i>Russian Roulette of the Condor</i>, the striking new novella shot through with the biggest spy scandal since the Cold War, the underground patriot faces a dictator determined to turn American politics into an insidious spy game.<br>  <br> Brace yourself for six shots of the iconic Condor from James Grady, who has been called a “master of intrigue” by John Grisham, and whose prose was compared to George Orwell and Bob Dylan by the<i> Washington Post</i>.
