After The Constant Gardener (bwl 8) which I loved, I found this disappointing though there is good stuff in it, in particular his portrayal of the two main characters: Ted Mundy, a British officer's son born in the newly independent Pakistan, and Sasha , the son of an East German pastor. They are caught up in 1960s Berlin rioting, then in Cold War espionage and finally in contemporary horrors.Worth reading if you like this sort of thing.
