Critics Review
-
Once again Deighton has woven an intricate and satisfying plot, peopled it with convincing characters and even managed to give a new twist or two to the spy story. But then he is a master of the form.
Washington Post
-
Len Deighton is the Flaubert of the contemporary thriller writers.
Times Literary Supplement
-
Deighton's outstanding achievement is the nine-volume series chronicling the life and times of Bernard Samson ... Deighton's Samson trilogies are as much about the elusiveness of human interactions as espionage. Spying is not a secret world sealed off from ordinary life but an extension of the world we all live in.
New Statesman

Len Deighton's spy novels are so good they make me sad the Cold War is over.

The self-conscious cool of Deighton's writing has dated in the best way possible ... Stone-cold Cold War classic.
