Six days of the condor.

Martin

I can see why the book might have been influential in its day, but it doesn't hold up the test of time. Malcolm is a dick and way to capable for being untrained. He also seems to have no feelings. There's hardly any suspense or plot. Women are just props to be sexualized.

Ronald Malcom es un analista de la CIA, su principal trabajo es leer novelas de espías, buscando potenciales coincidencias en la ficción de un autor o nuevas ideas para operaciones de la CIA. Su pequeño paraíso se ve destrozado una mañana cuando encuentra a todos sus compañeros de trabajo muertos.

The novel that inspired the Robert Redford film Three Days of the Condor. Sandwiches save Ronald Malcolm's life. On the day that gunmen pay a visit to the American Literary Historical Society, he's out at lunch. The Society is actually a backwater of the Central Intelligence Agency, where Malcolm and a few other bookworms comb mystery novels for clues that might unlock real life diplomatic questions. One of his colleagues has learned something he wasn't meant to know. A sinister conspiracy has penetrated the CIA, and the gunmen are its representatives. They massacre the office, and only learn later of Malcolm -- a loose end that needs to be dealt with. Malcolm -- codename Condor -- calls his handlers at the Agency, hoping for a safe haven, instead drawing another attempt on his life. With no one left to trust he goes on the run. But like it or not, Malcolm is the only person who can root out the corruption at the highest levels of the CIA.

Six days of the condor.
