Why read it?
1 author picked The Asset as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a series of nine spy novels involving the CIA and Russia. The books are complex and well-crafted.
The characters are memorable, although their actions can be predictable. There’s a lot of sex. The bad guys are very bad. The good guys do bad things for good reason.
Saul Herzog made me cringe—in a good way. A manipulative woman undergoes plastic surgery to look like a man’s dead fiancée. A leader in the Russian intelligence organization is a physical and mental creep-fest. Saul conjures up a meal I’d never want to eat.
