Angus & Me #3
Operation Angus
From bestselling author Terry Fallis comes the long-awaited follow-up to The Best Laid Plans and The High Roa d—a comic spy story that heralds the return of Angus Mclintock. Angus McClintock, accidental Member of Parliament, has won re-election and is now the Minister of State for International Relations—or, in other words, he's the junior global affairs minister. In this new post, he and his trusty Chief of Staff, Daniel Addison, are in London to meet with their international counterparts to discuss the upcoming G8 Summit in Washington. Unfortunately, Angus is not in charge of Canada's involvement in the summit—that task falls to the actual Global Affairs Minister, not the junior one. What Angus is responsible for is planning a brief post-summit meeting in Ottawa between the Prime Minister and the President of Russia, the former head of the KG. The London meetings are all going to plan until Daniel receives a cryptic, late-night text, from a burner phone, directing him to a pub around the corner from their hotel. There is important information he needs to know, the mysterious texter says—but he must keep the meeting a secret and must come alone. Naturally, he immediately tells Angus, who of course tags along to the pub—just as reinforcement. The soon-to-be-retired MI6 agent who is waiting for Daniel is not pleased, but there are more pressing matters at Chechen separatists are plotting to assassinate the Russian President—and it’s going to happen when he’s in Ottawa to meet with the Prime Minister, just weeks away. Angus and Daniel have to put a stop to it before it's too late. Naturally, no one in Ottawa will take them, or their top-secret intelligence, seriously, so they’re on their own. In an instant, they are thrown into a race against the clock to uncover the Chechen sleeper cell, thwart their plans, and ultimately save the Russian President. Along the way, in classic Angus and Daniel style, they have to dodge bitter rivals, enraged protestors, and even a runaway Cessna. This is a madcap cloak-and-dagger adventure with humor and heart that will delight and entertain readers until the very last page.

Having previously read and enjoyed the Canadian political satires, Best Laid Plans and the High Road, by Terry Fallis, I was pleased to see M.P. Angus McLintock return in a humorous spy thriller. Angus is in London with his Chief of Staff, David Addison, to discuss the upcoming G8 summit in Washington. Angus's only role will be in charge of arranging a brief meeting between the Canadian Prime Minister and the Russian President in Ottawa.
While in London, David receives a text from a burner phone advising him to come to a nearby pub at night for important information. He must come alone and tell nobody of this clandestine meeting. Naturally, he immediately tells Angus and takes him along for support. They meet a woman who is not happy with David's arrangement and that he has broken the rules she laid out. She is soon to retire as an M16 agent and has secret information that the English government refused to act upon. She advises them that Chechen separatists plan to assassinate the Russian President while in Ottawa. There is a possibility the Canadian Prime Minister and others will be harmed in the attack. The British government has covered up the plan due to the Russian's involvement with poisonings in England and has no plans to share or publicize the assassination attempt. She insists they never name her as a source as this could lead to her imprisonment.
Meanwhile, there are noisy protests in Ottawa by citizens enraged about the appearance of the new building where the upcoming meeting is to be held. It was designed with a maple leaf theme partly overlooking the Ottawa River. In order to prop it up from tumbling into the river, extensions had to be added to stabilize it. Now it is said to resemble an ugly spider climbing from the water. Angus and David try to warn politicians and security forces about the terrorist plan, but are ignored because they won't disclose their source and from their dislike of Angus. They consider their information to be ridiculous and that it would never happen in Canada.
They enlist help from an old and elderly friend Muriel who lives in a senior residence. They meet Muriel's friend, Vivien, who is physically impaired but has a sharp mind. She was a former member of the RCMP and employed by an intelligence agency and is a newcomer to the residence. Along with the assistance of these two senior women and David's girlfriend, there is a race to stop an attack that the Canadian politicians will not take seriously. They attempt to locate Chechnya sleeper cells around Ottawa and are in a mad, frantic race against time to stop the terrorist plan.
This results in a hilarious, light, madcap spy story and will probably join Angus's previous stories with awards for humour.

Who but Terry Fallis could make a being stranded in a small town with a broken down car fun?!? With my NetGalley advance reader e-copy, I giggled my way through an unpleasant experience. Angus McClintock is truly one of my favorite literary characters and this new book had him, his hair and his colorful vocabulary featured in all his glory. The crazy adventure payed lovely tribute to spy novels while still staying squarely in the realm of Canadian humorous fiction. I loved revisiting all the older characters but missed the Petes. I’ll be buying myself a hard copy when this is released. All I can ask of Mr. Fallis is that he please write another one!

Terry Fallis delivers a great political thriller mixing in some humour in this piece set north of the 45th Parallel! In the final novel of the trilogy, Fallis tackles the life of MP (and Cabinet member) Angus McLintock, Alongside his Chief of Staff, Daniel Addison, Angus is pulled into a secret sharing of intel that involves the Russian president's upcoming trip to Ottawa. It would appear that there are those who want the Russian dead and have a plan to make a spectacle during his time in Ottawa. Additionally, there may be some domestic protestors who have another issue and are plotting to take action. With little time to waste and a great deal on the agenda, Angus and Daniel will have to work every angle to ensure blood does not flow down the streets of the Capital. Fallis delivers a great conclusion to the series with this captivating piece.
Angus McClintock did well to secure his spot in the House of Commons after being elected. He did so well that he's now the Minister of State for International Relations. While still a junior minister, he's recognised wherever he goes. Working with his Chief of Staff, Daniel Addison, they travel the globe to procure agreements and smooth the way for the full-fledged minister. While in London to meet with their international counterparts, the discussion is solely about the upcoming G8 Summit in Washington. Alas, Angus is not responsible for any of the major events, but has been told to handle a meeting in Ottawa between the Russian president and Canadian prime minister after the fact.
When Daniel receives a mysterious message and request to meet in a secretive pub, he and Angus cannot guess what awaits them. An MI6 agent reports that there is a plan to assassinate the Russian leader during his time in Ottawa, specifically by a Chechen group with a terror cell somewhere in the capital. Armed with this, they head back home and try to lay it at the feet of those in charge, but no one will listen. Add this this, a domestic group is up in arms with the construction of the new conference centre where the meeting is set to take place and has threatened to destroy it as well. Nothing is easy for Daniel and Angus, it would seem.
Refusing to stand down and let others handle (or ignore) the information, Angus and Daniel use their own sources to push for answers. Trying to locate the Chechen sleeper cell is one thing, but foiling the plot is quite another. Angus is determined to ensure no lives are lost and that a political snafu does not land on the front pages of newspapers around the world. He will have to act swiftly and rely on Daniel to pull some strings, but Canada is at stake here and nothing matters more to Angus McLintock. A great conclusion to the series that exemplifies much of what Terry Fallis has built up over the last few novels!
I love Canadian politics and admire the work Terry Fallis writes about with his tongue-in-cheek style. Fallis builds on the previous two novels by presenting a narrative that clips along once more, picking up where the previous book ended. He mixes education with entertainment regarding Canadian aspects of the political world. As the story builds, perspectives multiply, including a diary penned by Angus McLintock himself. The characters are wonderfully crafted and show much experience in parliamentary politics. Plot points keep the reader guessing and on edge, while rolling their eyes on occasion as well. I am pleased to have stumbled upon this piece and am eager to read more of Terry Fallis' work soon.
Kudos, Mr. Fallis, for an entertaining series.

Daniel and Angus return and wherever they go adventures follow. On a working trip to London, Daniel is contacted by an MI6 agent for a clandestine meeting. Despite being told to 'come alone', Daniel wastes no time in telling Angus all about this call. The meeting in an obscure London pub, late at night, begins their latest adventure. Once back in Canada the pair bring in long time friend Muriel, her friend Vivian and Daniel's girlfriend Lindsay to assist in the investigation. They need all the help they can get.
This long awaited return of Angus and Daniel is welcome addition to their hilarious adventures.

Wonderful.
I didn't know I needed more Angus and Daniel until I picked up this book. It was an utterly ridiculous but welcomed treat. A fun romp into Canadian political satire. And yes that is a genre!
If you haven't read Angus before, start at the beginning of the series.

There are a lot of authors that I enjoy but Terry Fallis is the only one that I can say I have read all of their books. This is number 8 and I look forward to number 9. In this particular case, Operation Angus, reconnects us with characters from his first two works. It is not necessary to have read those, but you should. I know that I can count on the author’s writing style to give me some giggles and be an easy and relaxing read. #indigoemployee

3.5 stars. Always humorous and always a delight to spend time with Angus. Although I found there wasn't enough Angus, more Daniel, which was fine, because it was light and funny always, and there also wasn't enough of Angus writing in his journal to his beloved dead wife. I found it too long as well, but overall, always enjoyable!
August 23, 2021
This is a refreshing and frolicky read, especially during the current political climate in Canada. The cast of characters is a mix of real and fictional, including a few familiar ones. If you like James Bond, Ethan Hunt, or Jason Bourne, this is your next read.
I need to know more about The Nutcracker, Terry!
What a delightful blend of Canlit!

Another entertaining read from Terry Fallis.
September 15, 2024
I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this book since I haven’t really enjoyed anything of Terry Fallis’ since “The best laid plans “ and “The high road”. I should not have doubted that another book with Angus and Daniel would do anything but make me smile and giggle. It also made me happy to hear from Muriel and Lindsay again. And the new characters: Vivian and the M16 agent were 2 welcome additions! Characters aside, I found the story to be entertaining too.
December 23, 2021
This book was surprisingly hilarious! Surprisingly, because I did not know this author or any other of his books previous to starting this one.
My best description for the story is "poly sci meets spy".
A Canadian cabinet minister and his chief of staff become unlikely and mostly bumbling intelligence operatives charged with uncovering and stopping an assasination attempt. While none of this is particularly realistic, it was extremely entertaining.
As an Ottawan, I loved reading about and recognizing places, culture, and phrases from home, and was able to appreciate the geographical references and the inside jokes that would likely be lost on other readers: the Alexandra Bridge, the spider legs, rear ending someone on King Edward Avenue... so familiar, and so funny!
Four stars rather than five for some of the strange dialogue and the overuse of the words: um... well...
Also because I read the audiobook version and the reader (whom I understand to be the author himself) is not great at accents. (In many places, the scottish man sounds suspiciously russian and all the French speakers sound somewhat scottish. That makes it pretty hard to know who is speaking when. This is a book that would have been better off with a voice actor to read the audio, and give each character a consistent accent and more personality.
That said, I loved this quick read and will definitely seek out more from this author.

I'd give this 3.5 stars but 4 would be a stretch. I enjoyed revisiting these characters and this new adventure was fun. Some of the comedic elements, which were amusing in the first two books, are starting to land flat in this third outing. The 100 pages of resolution after the main action also seems longer than it needs to be.
December 2, 2021
I love this series. It has a perfect tone, just as witty as the first book, but develops the characters in such an endearing way. The end was a bit cheese, but it totally works. Such a fun ride. If you are going to read about Canadian politics, this is the series for you.
December 3, 2021
Was fun visiting back with Addison and of course Angus and his wildness. Love all the characters in this series.
December 20, 2021
Terry Fallis does not disappoint. A humorous tale of the politicians wish we had dealing with the politicians we actually have. A very enjoyable read.
January 11, 2022
Lots of fun!

Fun to see Angus and Daniel again. Credibility is stretched, but it's still worthwhile. Recommended.
April 17, 2023
Probably my favourite of the series so far. Will be interesting to see if we get a 4th instalment.
November 7, 2021
They are back, all the great characters from The Best Laid Plans, especially Angus McClintock, Daniel Addison and Lindsey Addison. Canadian author Terry Fallis has written this fun comical spy story that has you giggling amongst the seriousness of a true to life story. I would suggest though you start with Best Laid Plans first, it was my fav too.
November 28, 2021
This return of Angus, still a member of Parliament, and his right hand man, Daniel, is a delightful, laugh out loud spy thriller. Even with the involvement of Daniel’s girlfriend, her grandmother, and her aged friend in a wheelchair , this story is almost believable as they track down a sleeper cell who are attempting to assassinate the Russian president while visiting the Prime Minister in Ottawa.
September 5, 2021
3.5 rounded up.
I was eagerly anticipating the return of Angus McLintock, everyone's favorite senior, tell it like it is MP and his Chief of Staff Daniel Addison.
In this third book Angus and Daniel find themselves involved in a plot to uncover some Chechen separatists planning to assassinate the Russian president when he visits Ottawa. The Canadian Intelligence authorities aren't taking them seriously so it's up to our two favorite politicians with some help from their friends to save the day.
If I'm honest I didn't love the assassination plot, it seemed a little too ridiculous and implausible but Fallis's trademark humor and Angus's gruff, no-nonsense personality shone through and I am not ashamed to say I missed them! Fans of the earlier two books are sure to enjoy this latest installment. Much thanks to Libro.fm for my ALC narrated by the author!

Loved it. Missed Angus and Daniel and all their posse. I needed a feel good book when I was travelling and I picked the right book. Loved Angus and Daniel as James Bond. Thanks Terry Fallis for keeping us laughing.

Politics is not something I’m super knowledgeable about. It doesn’t intrigue me. It doesn’t interest me. But that still didn’t stop me from thoroughly enjoying this political satire trilogy! Glad to have stumbled upon it.
November 11, 2021
Nice to see the old gang back together in an improbable but amusing adventure 😄
December 8, 2022
The setting of Canada’s federal government along with Fallis’s funny writing made this story engaging and worthwhile. A minister’s assistant finds out a plot to kill the Canadian Prime Minister as well as the Russian President, but the security forces of both countries don’t believe him…
February 21, 2022
Operation Angus by Terry Fallis is a Canadian civil servant style “thriller” based in Ottawa. This is a very timely story about a secret plot to kill the Russian leader by Chechen separatists on a diplomatic visit to the normally sleepy Capital City. Although this is a heavy topic, Fallis remains true to his style by keeping it light and bringing back familiar characters from his previous novels. The timing of this book as tensions between Russia and the Ukraine heat up is apt. And as I am from Ottawa, the story perfectly captures all the familiar gripes and controversies that tend to be hot topics in this city, such as the ugly redesign of a building and the endless gripes between political parties. However, with Ottawa currently under siege I read this book with a tinge of sadness as the image of the sleepy city has been shattered. At least this book is a reminder of the city I know and love. Operation Angus brings some much needed humour to politics, a fun read.
October 7, 2021
a typical enjoyable Fallis story, with a summary that made it all make sense.
Favourite lines:
“I don’t understand why Fleming is not being taken seriously by her boss. He sounds like a complete and utter tool…..she’d wonder why you’re so surprised that the fruits of a smart woman’s intellect are not accepted by the man to whom she reports. It happens every day in the workplaces around the world.” (p. 27)
“it was always about politics and power and never about principles, policy or people”. (p. 47)
“the problem with lifting weights is that they’re just so heavy” (p. 175)
“I was operating on pure instinct, anger and adrenalin. Not a healthy combination.” (p. 243)
“I offer my deepest gratitude, not only for your creditable and exemplary career, but for your unwavering commitment to do what is right when it is far from what is easy.” (p. 338)
“There’s nothing like having your life put in peril to make you hold on to those you love a little tighter. The experience seemed to crystallize the shared belief that we belonged with each other. I’m glad we both felt the same way.” (p. 343)
“You were always encouraging me to live a little larger and sip more often from the cup of new experiences.” (p. 361)

Le sigh, I'm officially done with all things Angus McLintock. The first book was great, the second was fine, this was absurd. To get through it you'll need all of the suspension of disbelief required in the first two + a million. There were still jokes, some made me laugh and most got at least a grin. If you struggled at all with The High Road, don't bother with this. If you thoroughly enjoyed The High Road, I suspect you'll have a fun time with this one too.
December 28, 2021
I did not want the adventures of Minister McLintock and Addison to end. Funny and thrilling at the same time. Recommend for any Canadian politics fan.
