PRAISE FOR The Mission Song:
'A formidably sophisticated work of fiction, full of energy, rage and great humour. All the qualities for which le Carre's fiction has been admired - his descriptive powers, his electrifying dialogue, his cynicism in the presence of corporate greed and government power - are visible That this great English novelist continues to produce work of this calibre with such frequency is simply astonishing.' e^t ^ Mall on Sunday : '
'Entertainment of the highest order'/^a/Zy Mrrar ^
A thrilling, dynamic read Guardian
'This thriller exhibits [le Carre's] familiar strengths: superbly realised ^ ^ characters; a succession of knockout scenes nobody else could produce; and a distinctive ability to fuse social comedy and moral anger Mesmerising^^ Sunday Times
Te Carre's eye is undimmed, his'passion for hTsTraRTslirong as it em ^ was. He delivers a tale that few could equal and none will surpass.' Observer
