@ShippersUnbound for whatever reason he isn't ready to share, even with the other characters, the narrator, or the reader. The smartest guy in the room, etc, and sardonic with it.

@ShippersUnbound This is a great summary for anyone starting out with Len Deighton. Also, on the Ipcress File plot - I saw the reply below - I agree it's a muddle, but it somewhat put me in the mind of Chandler's Marlowe, where you're never sure if the protagonist has twigged something that...

Very sad to learn of the death of Len Deighton, who was one of the two greatest spy thriller writers of all time and in some regards was Le Carre’s superior.
Anyone who has not read Deighton should try Funeral in Berlin, Bomber or SSGB. Most of all they should seek out Berlin Game, the start of an epic 10 book Cold War series focused on Bernard Samson.
Deighton’s writing was sharp, satirical, gripping and often amusing. His office infighting in the intelligence services was delicious and his characters are beautifully drawn.
The Samson cycle starts with a meticulously plotted run of five books (Berlin Game, Mexico Set, London Match, Spy Hook and Spy Line) which all stand alone but tell one big story from the jaded but dedicated perspective Bernard a brilliant field operative. Len’s genius idea was to use the sixth, Spy Sinker, to retell the whole cycle from the perspective of everyone else, exposing what Bernard didn’t know and misunderstood.
There is then an origin story about Bernard’s dad during the war, Winter, and then a concluding trilogy of Faith, Hope and Charity, which is not as high quality but deals with the fallout from the events of books 1-5.
It’s an epic achievement and the greatest long series in spy fiction, accepting that the Smiley series is the greatest short series.
Do yourself a favour, give it a try

EK Rugby Analysis@ek_rugby
🔊One of the key factors in New Zealand's win against Ireland was their ability to continually turn over Irish ball throughout. Here's a short video on how they cleverly adapted and disrupted Ireland's lineout for the first of 3 steals in the game. #IREvNZL #RugbyAnalysis
