Condor

Decades after his adventure in the classic Six Days of the Condor, the eponymous spy reflects on his life while awaiting his next target in this tense novella.

Ronald Malcolm, codename Condor, is still in the spy game. He may be older now, but in a world where hardly anybody sees anybody, nobody sees old. He's the perfect choice to sit in New York City's Penn Station and wait for what he calls "the killing train." And while he waits for someone to take a life, he reflects on his own life. He wonders what has brought him to this moment. He looks back over memories of his childhood, his recruitment to the CIA, and that bloody day at the American Literary Historical Society that changed everything for him. But he must be careful not to get too lost on memory lane. The clock is ticking, and targets are on the move. He can't afford to get caught with his head in the clouds . . . Praise for James Grady

"A chilling novel of top security gone berserk . . . Breakneck . . . Not a slow minute." —Library Journal on Six Days of the Condor

"Grady's writing has changed dramatically over the years, evolving into a literary, impressionistic style . . . [It] is a perfect fit for the aging, unhinged, yet still-lethal Condor. This is an author writing at the top of his, or anyone else's, game." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Condor: The Short Takes
