A delicious ending to the trilogy. Game, Set, and Match together re-creates a lesser known world as a storyline.

The first 2/3ds of the book dragged on before getting interesting. I was disappointed the wife, Fiona, did not get her well deserved 'come-up pings' in the end.

A satisfying conclusion to one of the smartest trilogies I’ve read. The writing style sucks you in. I couldn’t put any of these books down and will absolutely be reading more of Deighton’s stuff.

Back to the cold war and a good standard spy novel, set in the 1980's when the relationship between the great powers were at their coldest following the trials and tribulations of a former field agent from Berlin but now riding a desk back in London.
Like the previous three books in this series this book concentrates on vivid characterization, suspense, the occasional bit of off-beat humour, intricate plotting, betrayals, and redemptions rather than super-secret complex technology or gadgets. An exciting climax to the first trilogy in this epic spy ring!! Looking forward to the rest of this series!
