condor.net
A short story of conspiracy and mayhem by the author of Six Days of the Condor, reimagining the classic spy thriller in our post-9/11 world. In this chilling short story, a CIA analyst codenamed Condor is caught in the grip of a conspiracy he can barely understand. When he finds something strange linked to a covert operation in Afghanistan, he makes the mistake of contacting his superiors. Soon after, a gunman attacks during an office coffee break, killing all but Condor. Alone and out of his depth, Condor chases the conspiracy while on the run, learning quickly that, though the Cold War may be over, espionage remains a dangerous game. This heart-pounding spy story continues the adventures of Condor, James Grady’s unforgettable character immortalized by Robert Redford in the classic film Three Days of the Condor, and currently portrayed by Max Irons in the all-new TV series Condor.

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.
