| Audio Book Description |
| The preceeding novel in the George Smiley series-Tinker, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY -ended with the devastating unmasking of a double agent at the heart of the British Secret Service. Now, inThe HONOURABLE SCHOOLBOY, George Smiley-who has assumed the unenviable job of restoring the health and reputation of his demoralized organization-goes on the offensive. Salvaging what he can of the Service's ravaged network of spies, summoning back a few trustworthy old colleagues, working them-and himself-around the clock, he searches for a whisper, a hint, a clue that will lead him back to his opposite number: Karla, the Soviet officer in Moscow Centre who masterminded the infamous treachery.
Here is John LeCarré at his best. Suspense, excitement, the techniques of espionage as only he has been able to make them real for us-together with a growing capacity for sustained action, a grandly conceived and intricately- drawn plot, and profound observation of the Far Eastern landscape.THE HONOURABLE SCHOOLBOY is both a supreme entertainment and a major novel. |

A Perfect Listen
by David on July 30 2007
How wonderful! - I‘m familiar with the audio
books of Tinker Tailor, and Smiley‘s People... the
first and third of the Karla trilogy, but never
knew of The Honourable Schoolboy‘s disc.
An outstanding listen, for those who already know
the characters and outline of le Carre‘s world; if
not, start with Spy Who Came In From the Cold or
TTSS (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).
 The Honourable Schoolboy
by jason on July 10 2007
another Smiley alter orbis -- the continuation of
le Carré‘s meditations on memory in the guise of a
‘spy novel‘... good reading... wondrous prose...
