Interesting novel this, certainly for someone of my age. It's the first of a trilogy about an 'accidental spy', set in the early- to mid-1960s. I can remember the events depicted because I lived through them, although in places some of the chronology is slightly twisted to suit the plot. I was left wondering if anyone under the age of (say) 60 would get some of the references. Names like Philby, Burgess and MacLean are familiar to most people interested in mid-20th century British history, and events like the Cuban Missile Crisis and Kennedy's assassination are important historical events. However, I'm not sure many people will know much about Patrice Lumumba and his murder, or about George Blake and his escape from Wormwood Scrubs. For all that, Gabriel's Moon is a well-written and exciting novel with an intricate plot and well-drawn characters, and I look forward to the next two novels. And it would not surprise me to see the Beeb or Netflix make it into a TV series. Well worth the read.

History repeats itself: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce. You’d have thought the Americans would have learned that by now: Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Iran. Thankfully, we have Starmer in charge, not Bliar.

Wilson told Lyndon Johnson repeatedly that the UK would not send military support to help the Americans in Vietnam, even when Commonwealth countries like Australia and New Zealand joined in. And that was in the days when we still had a substantial military presence.
