The history major in me really enjoys the archival recordings that make up this Novel. It also lent itself very well to the audiobook format.

I also enjoyed the spy master's competence and strategy.

However it is not easy to keep the story interesting and get your message across while keeping to the found records format. There are points where I thought; people don't talk like this.

These recordings also have to lead somewhere and at least in this first installment of a series, I did not understand who collected these recordings and why. What happened that these are the records left to tell the tale. Who collected them and why?
