This is the third book in a trilogy. All three books are amazing if you like a classic action-oriented spy story. Similar to Tom Clancy's original Jack Ryan. The author includes Putin in the plot which is interesting. Is the book itself a part of the propaganda war between the US and Russia? The author is ex-CIA. In any case, the author paints a very consistent picture of Putin. If you have seen the film "Red Sparrow" do not try to understand the full story. Instead start reading the books and forget any movie

Trodde inte ett kulturprogram skulle kunna vara underhallade fran SVT. Gasterna valjs ut baserat pa ras och kon, men de flesta verkar okay. Programledaren ar daremot en stjarna

Rönndahl var fynding och underhallande. Appelquist ar en trakig PK komiker.

Commenting on the television drama show. The drama is very faithful to the book. Everyone comes across as a bit pathetic - it is a satire. The main characters are white and British and live in Singapore in the 1940s. Yes, Chinese and British did not mix freely back then and the show makes that reality very clear. If you don't like that perspective the show is not for you. The show is filmed as it would have been filmed in the 1980s. That feels a bit dated, but I like the story. Shows how incompetent the Brits were in defending Singapore and how ruthless a trading company could be towards small landholders. Again, if that is not your cup of tea, the show is not for you
