I’ve been on a spy fiction kick recently- I really enjoyed the recent The Man from UNCLE movie and I Expect You to Die video game. I’m looking for some novels that are in a similar vein (classic 60s spy versus an egomaniac villain out to take over the world). However, I cannot stand the sexism in Ian Fleming’s books. He’s got good prose and worldbuilding, but it bugs me too much to enjoy the books.
Are there any recent spy novels that fall into this genre?
He writes spy novels? I’ve read the cathedral trilogy, and the century trilogy. Can you recommend a Follett spy novel?
I’m about halfway through Triple. I’d recommend it so far.
