Why read it?
1 author picked Mobius as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Despite the title, this is a novel, not a memoir, but it springs from the author’s long experience in the U.S. intelligence community. A colleague once told Thieme, “The only way you can tell the truth is through fiction.” While most spy novels are plot-driven, this book is deeply character-driven.
