Four decades after Six Days of the Condor revolutionized the thriller, James Grady reimagines his classic tale for the post-9/11 world.

Alone and out of his depth, Condor chases the conspiracy as he’s on the run, learning quickly that, though the Cold War may be over, espionage remains a dangerous game.

Having just read Six Days of the Condor, I thought I’d give this modern day novella a try, but it did not captivate me. Luckily, it was short.

Too short, too compressed for my taste, but then I'm not a millennial. I much prefer the original Cold War era novel, Six Days of the Condor (and the movie version of same) to this post 9/11 rewrite. If you've never read or seen the original, you might enjoy this version. If you're a Boomer or older, probably not.

Should not have bothered to update the original Condor novel for the modern age. It wasn't necessary, it wasn't done with great craft, but it was thankfully short.
