The Vanishing Man by Alma Katsu
2.0
The Spy Who Tried
Review of the Amazon Original Stories eBook (July 18, 2024) released simultaneously with the Audible Originals audiobook.
This story is really a novella which is rather unfairly split into 3 parts. There is only one story arc. A Russian assassin appears to defect to the USA citing their reason as dissatisfaction with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But are they really a double? Can they be turned into a triple? The American security seems to be ridiculously weak and the agents stupidly gullible throughout.
Much of this is just stereotypical and nothing particularly surprising happens.
The Vanishing Man is part 1 of the 3 part novella The Spy Who Vanished.
