Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: IN THE GRAND SPY-TALE TRADITION OF JOHN LE CARRÃ . . . comes this shocking thriller written with insider detail known only to a veteran CIA officer.
In present-day Russia, ruled by blue-eyed, unblinking President Vladimir Putin, Russian intelligence officer Dominika Egorova struggles to survive in the post-Soviet intelligence jungle. Ordered against her will to become a âSparrow,â a trained seductress, Dominika is assigned to operate against Nathaniel Nash, a young CIA officer who handles the Agencyâs most important Russian mole.
Spies have long relied on the âhoney trap,â whereby vulnerable men and women are intimately compromised. Dominika learns these techniques of âsexpionageâ in Russiaâs secret âSparrow School,â hidden outside of Moscow. As the action careens between Russia, Finland, Greece, Italy, and the United States, Dominika and Nate soon collide in a duel of wills, tradecraft, andâinevitablyâforbidden passion that threatens not just their lives but those of others as well. As secret allegiances are made and broken, Dominika and Nateâs game reaches a deadly crossroads. Soon one of them begins a dangerous double existence in a life-and-death operation that consumes intelligence agencies from Moscow to Washington, DC.
Page by page, veteran CIA officer Jason Matthewsâs Red Sparrow delights and terrifies and fascinates, all while delivering an unforgettable cast, from a sadistic Spetsnaz âmechanicâ who carries out Putinâs murderous schemes to the weary CIA Station Chief who resists Washington âcake-eatersâ to MARBLE, the priceless Russian mole. Packed with insider detail and written with brio, this tour-de-force novel brims with Matthewsâs life experience, including his knowledge of espionage, counterintelligence, surveillance tradecraft, spy recruitment, cyber-warfare, the Russian use of âspy dust,â and covert communications. Brilliantly composed and elegantly constructed, Red Sparrow is a masterful spy tale lifted from the dossiers of intelligence agencies on both sides of the Atlantic. Authentic, tense, and entertaining, this novel introduces Jason Matthews as a major new American talent.
