Book Reviews: Thriller, Corporate and Political Espionage, Spy Stories

"So what I decided is that spy stories and thrillers do not have murdered bodies as the central theme as do Murder Mysteries. Yet, it's not that bodies aren't routinely murdered. However, the focus is instead on political or corporate intrigue, they are usually technical and detailed, they sometimes weave historical events or headline news. The plots tend to take place in several locations hopping from country to country. The protagonist is often affiliated with a government or other covert organization and the antics range from breathless chases to stealth operations. The heroes are not always good guys but are on the good team or they're the good guy on the wrong team. The bad guys are capable of the most heinous punishments and ruthless subterfuge. Out of all fiction, these make the best movies."
