Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of A Legacy of Spies by John le Carré, read by Tom Hollander. This is the first novel in over 25 years to feature George Smiley, le Carré's most beloved character.
Peter Guillam, staunch colleague and disciple of George Smiley of the British Secret Service, otherwise known as the Circus, is living out his old age on the family farmstead on the south coast of Brittany when a letter from his old Service summons him to London. The reason? His Cold War past has come back to claim him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London and involved such characters as Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley and Peter Guillam himself are to be scrutinised under disturbing criteria by a generation with no memory of the Cold War and no patience with its justifications.
Interweaving past with present so that each may tell its own intense story, John le Carré has spun a single plot as ingenious and thrilling as the two predecessors on which it looks back: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

John le Carré in 2021?
This cold war story did sound like the rambling of an old spy. I have failed to enjoy all books from this author, whether it was 20 years ago or now. The only joy is in the quality of writing and characters. So never mind any fancy plots, just enjoy the characters le Carre has conjured up. These characters did not feel so interesting in 2021...
I would recommend skipping this book if you are looking for any form of entertainment.
If anyone is expecting a fast spy thriller, please skip. Your credit will be worth somewhere else.
If you are a die-hard fan of the author, you are going to download it anyhow and so I have nothing to say to you.
