The Chinese Spymaster
on March 09, 2014
As a first time reader of Hock Tjoa, I was very pleased with The Chinese Spymaster. I feel that this novel is a great and perfect for those of us who love suspense stories. The characters were well developed and the plot was well executed. Also, you can tell that Tjoa did his research on the inner workings and procedures of the different intelligence agencies as well as the political climates of the different geographical locations mentioned in the book. I appreciate that this novel isn't littered with action scene after scene. Instead, they are placed and written skillfully. I found myself kind of rooting for the Pashtuns to get their independence, but at the same time like Spymaster Wang and his team, I didn't want them to earn it through acquiring and using the nuclear devices. I love that Tjoa did a great job of sprinkling of mini conflicts throughout the story so that the whole novel isn't solely just about trying to prevent the Pashtuns from setting off a domino affect. I definitely recommend this book.
