Sinopsis

The Far Grassáis less a traditional Cold War spy fiction novel than it is the life story of a British spy during the time of the Cold War, a taut psychological study of personality and motivation told in first person by the bookâÇÖs central character, Joe Lambert.áLambert is an emotionally isolated man, an antihero unburdened by outrageous talents, on whom deep cynicism is visited.áHe progresses from his recruitment into BritainâÇÖs Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in an 1970s accident of UK political history through to his failures as a lover, resultant career zealotry and, after finding love only for it to be wrenched away, later transformation into an obsessed avenger.áAlong the way, Lambert locks in mortal conflict not only with the KGB but also with his own Service and hostile colleagues within, the CIA and ultimately himself.áStealthily addictive, thoughtful, sometimes sad, sometimes funny,áThe Far Grassáis a former diplomatâÇÖs tale of spying intrigue, human imperfection and the cut and thrust of bureaucratic politics.áIt is a book that offers readers a new slant on the Cold War spy fiction genre through a story that reaches its surprise conclusion in 1990 as the Soviet Union prepares to implode and the end of the Cold War nears.áá
