Spying for China: Book Review







If you are hoping for your typical spy book, where everything is all rosy in the end, well you can forget about it here. The Guys Who Spied for China is so different it is hard to describe. It just feels so real as the author depicts in fictional form his real experiences with uncovering Chinese Spy Networks operating here in the United States. Nothing about this novel is mainstream. Definitely not your usual stuff. The author had great writing style and the ability to make you feel like you are right in the middle of things. And, believe me sometimes it is spooky enough that you really get the creeps from it all. Other times the author is funny, if you have a dark sense of humor. But at the end of the day, this book has the ring of truth to it, and that’s what I liked the most. There is so much same-same spy genre fiction out there, that this one really stands out from the crowd.
