An astonishing thriller from the author of The CompanyA classic among espionage aficionados, The Sisters features what the New York Times called “the plot of plots.” Centering on Francis and Carroll, two enigmatic and extremely dangerous CIA legends dubbed “the Sisters Death and Night,” The Sisters masterfully unveils an abyss of artful deception. By luring the Potter, a former head of the KGB sleeper school, into betraying his last and best assassin living secretly in the United States, Francis and Carroll set off a desperate race against time as the Potter tries to stop his protégé from committing the Sisters' exquisitely planned, world-shattering crime.

This is a spy novel I am reading for my bookclub. It just got interesting as the former KGB agent was smuggled out of USSR ....will let you know.What can I say -- I like Littell's way of telling a story, his characters and the genre.
Attention du lourd du très lourd. Du grand Littell. Et encore je suis gentil je ne raconte pas l'histoire sauf qu'il s'agit de celle d'un agent dormant russe réveillé pour accomplir une mission. Mais Avec Littell c'est évidemment beaucoup plus compliqué que ça en a l'air....

The early 1960s. The Cold War at its hottest. Two CIA agents, who began with the OSS during World War II. Soviet spies and sleepers. Plots within plots within plots. To say more is to give it away. Definitely a compelling read.
A superb espionage thriller with plenty of twists and turns that keeps you guessing well after it has finished. Robert Littell, who is probably best known for his novel and subsequent series called 'Legends' starring Sean Bean, has had one of his best novels re-released by his publishing company. Even though it was set back in the cold war days, it is still well worth a read to not only re-visit that time, but also to enjoy a fairly short (only 300 pages in length) but turbo charged action
Espionage thrillers are a love that I keep coming back to, a love I can't cheat on. And by the way of story, Littell's The Sisters offers a story that is not only well-constructed but also remains enjoyable for most part. The Sisters are actually a pair of CIA think-tanks who activate a 'sleeper' to commit the world's perfect crime. The plot goes haywire in between but it all ties in together to reach a clever end. The inner political workings of the CIA are also explained in terrific detail. A
Enjoyable, Cold War spy thriller. Pretty much exactly what I was looking for! Not as good as The Company, obviously, but I learned some new spy tricks!
