Praise for the Milo Weaver Novels
“[Milo Weaver’s] company is at least as valuable to the series’s appeal as is his flair for international trickery.”
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
“Olen Steinhauer’s Milo Weaver novels are must-reads for lovers of the genre.”
—The Washington Post
“Like le Carré’s George Smiley, Weaver is a richly imagined creation with a scarred psyche and a complex backstory that elevates him above the status of run-of-the-mill, world-weary spook.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Stunning.… Readers are irresistibly drawn into Weaver’s dogged struggle to unravel a complicated game of cat and mouse.… Steinhauer is at the top of his game—but when isn’t he?”
—USA Today on An American Spy
“The Nearest Exit should take its place among the best of the spy thrillers.”
—Associated Press
“Here’s the best spy novel I’ve ever read that wasn’t written by John le Carré.”
—Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly, on The Tourist
Praise for The Last Tourist
“Olen Steinhauer is one of the most talented of the new generation of spy writers. His characters are nuanced, his story lines rooted in today’s headlines but with added zing, like a burst of citrus in a dry martini.”
—Financial Times
“Lauded for modernizing the espionage genre, Steinhauer pushes it even further … an intriguing way to reboot a series readers didn’t know they missed until it was gone.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Like John le Carré’s Agent Running in the Field (2019), Steinhauer pits a disenchanted agent, an ideologue no more, against the new evil empire, multinational corporations for whom ‘money knows no borders.’ It’s not a fair fight, but Milo is a hell of a counterpuncher, and we love rooting for him.”
