For six years, Alec Milius has been trying to escape his past, but his past refuses to release him. Abandoned by MI6 after a disastrous operation against the CIA, Milius has slowly rebuilt his life in Madrid. Older and wiser than the young spy who first caught the eye of British Intelligence, Milius still has a talent for deception - and a fatal weakness for secrets. So when a prominent politician disappears under suspicious circumstances, Milius can't resist tracking him down.

But the rules have changed. Alec is now working alone, outside the boundaries of any official agency. Paranoid and expendable, he soon becomes vulnerable to the ruthless duplicities of a secret world in which no one can be trusted. Yet as he comes face to face with the nightmare of modern terror, Alec is given one last chance for redemption.

This is a very convoluted story, as any spy story should be. The narrator has to switch to Spanish now and then. I am no judge, but it sounded convincing. I occasionally had to rewind to absorb the plot details. Overall the experience was very enjoyable and I can't wait for Cumming's next novel

Great for spy buffs

Refreshing take on contemporary espionage, very likable character, loved the reader too, I am now a fan of this author, this was my first book by him and I found him by researching John Le Carre like authors

Great story

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Probably not

Any additional comments?

The story itself drags in places, making it seem overly long.
Simon Vance is one of my favorite narrators. I especially liked his Scottish accent toward the end of the book...but his Spanish accent reminded me of Dracula

Not as good as trinity six but worth a listen

Story took about 6 hours for author to set up. Main character not remotely likable. Did not enjoy this much.

Takes forever to get going

These two books are incredible. I'm not going to tell you anything about the plot, but one thing I really enjoy is the way Alec is always analyzing everything everybody else says; trying to gauge their motives; it's pretty cool. And I just loved the first one which was on PLUS but there was no way I'd not get the second one. I'm not done with it but it's about the same spy.

Super entertaining and very tense at times.

Highly recommended.

Amazing - get Spy by Naturefirst on PLUS!

The audio recording of The Spanish Game is excellent. Simon Vance's reading enriches the storyline, which is a unique tale of a spy "coming in and out of the cold." Cumming's characters are multi-layered and complicated making this a must read for anyone who loves good writing and especially good writing in the spy genre.

Top in Genre

This is my idea of an espionage novel. A ton of twists, plotting and intrigue, and all absolutely believable. No James Bond moments. No miraculous escapes relying on super human abilities or gadgetry, and the World isn't about to end. In fact, there really is no win or lose and the goods guys aren't a ll that good, the bad guys not all that bad. The characters are well thought out and are portrayed as real people. It's hard to find a good spy novel. This is a winner.

Great book

Would you try another book from Charles Cumming and/or Simon Vance?

absolutely.

What did you like best about this story?

you didn't see where the story was going for a long time. And that's a delight.

Have you listened to any of Simon Vance’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

several. and he always does a good job. He never tries too hard with the accents and voice qualities.

Any additional comments?

Cummings is a very good writer and he should not be only thought of as a mystery-genre writer.

slow start, but worth it

Simon Vance does a great job with narration and voices. This novel has received lots of praise from spy genre fans, but it is only enjoyable for readers who like novels with an anti-hero and mostly unlikeable characters. There's not a lot of action; it's more about whether each character is really who he/she seems. I got tired of it and found it a bit of a downer.

Excellent narration but moody book

I enjoyed "The Trinity Six" and was excited to listen to this story. Nothing interesting happens for the first five hours then it picks up, only to end without an ending. Narrator is excellent, but he's not a magician.

Really slow moving. Waste of a credit.
