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.

Condor reimagined...

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.
