Agent running in the field [sound recording] / John Le Carré.
Set in London in 2018, Agent Running in the Field follows a twenty-six year old solitary figure who, in a desperate attempt to resist the new political turbulence swirling around him, makes connections that will take him down a very dangerous path. In his plot and characterization le Carré is as thrilling as ever and in the way he writes about our times he proves himself, once again, to be the greatest chronicler of our age.

In Le Carré's provocative espionage thriller, Ned has been called back to London after years abroad. He quickly discovers that at 47 he's considered past his prime. Disillusioned and effectively dismissed by the agency, he's put in charge of a lackluster London intelligence outpost, where his connection to a brash young female agent and a young man seemingly destined for disaster proves he has lost none of his skills, if some of his fidelity to the service. Le Carré's voice, an elegant English-accented baritone, seems too old at firstâand then, suddenly, the voice is perfect for this world-weary, almost retired spy. He relates events and conversations after the fact, and all is from Ned's perspective and in his voice. Le Carré is an accomplished storyteller, and, as a narrator, he makes the most of the smart, complicated, and very political plot. Listening to him tell the story is a distinct pleasure.
