Atticus Wolfe #1-3
Atticus Wolfe Collection
Atticus Wolfe is a man out of time.
As an MI6 spy in 1963, Atticus Wolfe should be enjoying everything the swinging sixties has to offer.
But he’s not.
That’s because Atticus Wolfe is from the 21st century.
Accidentally torn from present day and flung into 1960s London in the midst of a cultural revolution, Atticus must acclimatise to a time not his own.
Although he's shocked by bigotry decades out of step with his sensibilities, not everything is unfamiliar – like finding a mole inside MI6.
Atticus must take down a clandestine Soviet agent on the front lines of the Cold War, hunt the terrorist who inadvertently sent him back in time and maybe, just maybe, find a way home.
But as the adventure continues Atticus realises his presence has not gone unnoticed.
With every corrective action he makes pushing the world closer to the brink, Atticus must work with friends and enemies alike to stave off all-out nuclear war between the superpowers.
With over 850 pages of fast-paced adventures with whip smart dialogue and twists you won’t see coming, the Atticus Wolfe Collection is like no spy series you’ve read before.

About the author
Dave Sinclair
17 books55 followersDave Sinclair is a USA Today bestselling author, screenwriter and a really excellent parallel parker. Author of the Scream Queen Detective Agency, Mason Nash, Atticus Wolfe, Charles Bishop, Eva Destruction novels and snarky Post-It notes.
The three series have different main characters, but do manage to slip into each other’s series now and then.
Dave spends a lot of time in his imaginary world and ignoring the washing.
He lives in Melbourne, Australia with his wife and two crazy daughters.
He’s also an award winning filmmaker. A title that sounds much more impressive than it really is. He won a best comedy screenplay and cinematography award for one of the short films he wrote and directed, though at the time he didn’t really know what cinematography was. A completed screenplay is currently doing the rounds.
Dave’s overflowing bookshelves include many works by Douglas Adams, P.G. Wodehouse, Dashiel Hammet, Raymond Chandler, Janet Evanovich, Ian Flemming, Zadie Smith and John le Carré.

Oh wow! I loved this book. I am a cosy mystery fan at heart but stumbled on a book by Dave Sinclair when I was in the mood for something different. I have been hooked ever since and it's not surprising when he produces something like this. I loved the whole concept of a modern day spy trying to apply his craft by going in his words 'Old school'. You really got an idea of how much the world has changed and yet it was so easy to picture. I also liked that most of it was set in London with a number of places that will be familiar to the reader.
Out of time
The author focused the story mostly on finding the spy in MI6 instead of wallowing on his situation and how to get back to his time line, which really worked well for the enjoyment factor. I liked the characters and the banter between them. I can't wait to see what is in store for Atticus next.
While trying to capture a terrorist, Atticus Wolfe is caught up in an explosion and wakes up to find his world has totally changed. The year is 1963 and Kennedy has just been assassinated and a mole is working in MI6. When an agent gets kidnapped, Atticus finds that he can't standby and stay in the background, even if what he does will have an effect on his future. Instead he finds himself in charge of a rag-bag team of misfits on the hunt for the mole and the truth about what happened to there man. Can Atticus go old school? Because the world of spy craft is a lot harder without modern day technology like computers, satellites and even tv channels but it is something he will have to do very quickly if he is to have a future and he will have to do it all without making changes to the past.
It takes a spy
Atticus is a great main character, he has the skill and cheek to pull it off and to keep you returning. Time travel as a story line sometimes gets confusing but that is not the case with this book and in fact in some places it felt like you were back in London with him. The plot was mainly focused on settling old scores between ex friends and trying not to screw up the time !line to much, so this involved a lot of action and some new friends.
With his old friend having betrayed him Atticus is on the hunt to find him and retrieve his mobile phone before he can unlock it. There are things on the phone that no one from 1964 should know and plenty that someone would kill for. The problem is people are beginning to question who Atticus is or where did he come from and he quickly finds out the hunter can easily become the hunted. Cut off from his friends and contacts at M16 the spy turns to family for help but by asking his father and grandfather for help is he changing his own future. What will happen to Atticus if one of them gets hurt? But can be really afford to let modern technology fall into the Soviets hands?
The coldest war
Oh wow! This is the third and final Atticus Wolfe novel and things have certainly heated up. I thought with the introduction of a second Atticus at the end of the previous book the story might have gotten confusing but once again the author shows he is a master of his craft and the gripping story is easy to follow. There is still plenty of action, humour and escapes, as well as a few twists. I had no idea how the author was going to end the book but I liked what he did.
As if there wasn't enough trouble with one Atticus Wolfe in the world, now there is two and he is claiming that the traitor Oliver needs to be stopped once and for all of face Armageddon. But he is holding something back, something that his younger self needs to know. A a spy Atticus is use to working in the shadows with a small team he can trust but what happens to the mission when you can't trust yourself? Or yourself doesn't stick to the plan. Can Atticus save the world? And how can be stop a man hell bent on revenge?
A must read series that is easy to escape into. A little bit sad that it is the end of the series but I guess with time travel involved you never know where Atticus Wolfe or Maggie might pop up next and as they are both great characters I can easily see them doing it.
