Summary
Fearing for his life, journalist Philip Mangan has gone into hiding from the Chinese agents who have identified him as British spy. His reputation and life are in tatters.
But when he is caught in a terrorist attack in East Africa and a shadowy Chinese figure approaches him in the dead of night with information on the origins of the attack, Mangan is suddenly back in the eye of the storm.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on a humid Hong Kong night, a key MI6 source is murdered minutes after meeting spy Trish Patterson. From Washington, DC to the hallowed halls of Oxford University and dusty African streets, a sinister power is stirring which will use Mangan and Patterson as its pawns - if they survive.
Deeply steeped in tension and paranoia, Spy Games is Adam Brookes' follow-up to his award-nominated debut Night Heron and a remarkable, groundbreaking spy thriller.

Spy Games
I love Alan Fürst and Le Carres stories but Adam Brookes is my current Best Buy. In the closing stages of Spy Games I knew it was going to end but everything in me craved for more, for it to go on just a bit longer. I couldn't stop listening. I love Adams style of writing and I can't wait for my next Brooke's listen. Richard Coyles narration was absolutely excellent. Well done guys!!!

Great story, poor narration
I listened to Night Heron narrated by Jason Isaacs, which was brilliant.
The next in the series is Spy Games - but they changed the narrator! I didn’t like this narration atall: wooden, with weird and inconsistent voices for the characters. Hopko and Patterson sounded very odd, and at times indistinguishable. The Chinese voices were a caricature. Please bring back Jason Isaacs to read this book!
I returned it. I’ve read the story in book form and it’s great.

Read, don't listen.
Spy Games if the middle of a trilogy (stand alone books but best read in sequence starting with Night Heron and finishing with The Spy's Daughter.
The Audiobook edition is poor.
Read my review of Night Heron for an overview of the trilogy. Good read, but don't listen

obvious, boring
I really enjoyed the first book in the series but this really missed the mark. the narration was great but the story was lacklustre. just when it starts to get interesting it's over. not impressed
