SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING PIERCE BROSNAN - IN THEATERS AUGUST 27TH!
The classic thriller featuring the lethally cool U.S. government spy code-named The November Man
/> The president learned long ago that the CIA could not be trusted. And so he created his own group of deadly efficient men to gather independent intelligence: a watchdog organization to keep the CIA in check. R Section was born.
"There are no spies . . . "
Until he heard those four simple words, Devereaux thought he'd left his days in R Section behind. He was no longer The November Man, an American field officer in the vice-grip of duty and dangerâ??and the most brilliant agent R Section had ever produced. When he receives the cryptic message from Hanley, his former handler, Devereaux has no idea he's about to be reactivated into a mission to save both his life and R Section itself. He's not aware that a beautiful KGB agent has been ordered to stalk and kill him-or that Hanley is now in a government-subsidized asylum for people with too many secrets. And he doesn't know that zero hour ticks closer for an operation to catch a master spy . . . with Devereaux the designated pawn.

Devereaux is no longer a spy. But when he suddenly gets calls from his former handler Hanley his life is about to change. Suddenly he is reactivated and must fight to stay alive.

This spy novel is the first in a series about Devereaux alias November. I thought it would be fun to read the book since book number 7 soon will be in released. The book wasn’t that bad in the beginning, but I never really got into the story. In the end I just felt like “ok” that was it, he/she was the bad guy/girl and I just didn’t care.

I will read one more book since I have requested and been granted book nr 3 in the series. Hopefully the book is better than this one.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a free copy for an honest review!
