Tom Bishop: All right, so what else? What else do I need to know?
Nathan Muir: Put away some money so you can die someplace warm. And don't ever touch it. Not for anyone. Ever.
Bishop: Okay, is that it?
Nathan Muir: Don't ever risk your life for an asset. If it comes down to you or them...send flowers.
Ten years have passed since Nathan Muir rescued Tom Bishop from a Suzhou Prison and escaped the CIA for good. Now, all his former agents have suddenly vanished leaving the CIA blinded around the globe.
Then a coded message comes in from Malaysia with astonishing news: a lone spy has survived the mysterious purge. There's just one catch. He'll only reveal himself to the man Langley trusts less and despises more than Nathan Muir: Tom Bishop...

"A chess game...laid out in the real world of espionage." BRAD PITT, Spy Game**
Told by remarkably hapless but doggedly faithful CIA lawyer Russell Aiken, in Bishop's Endgame, Tom Bishop and Nathan Muir will have their final face-off along a border between two countries, two centuries, two world orders; between life and death and two versions of themselves: who they want to be and who the Spy Game makes them.
"A thinking man's thriller... A real adrenaline blast... I loved it!" ROBERT REDFORD, Spy Game**
Buy Now and return to the world of Nathan Muir and Tom Bishop but be warned: in Spy Game, "It's not how you play the game... It's how the game plays you."
