Spook Country by William Gibson
wfzimmerman’s review: “This was rather disappointing. Written with Gibson’s usual skill, and full of flashes of genius, but in the end not much happening. Can’t really call it science fiction, because at the end of the day the whole plot is aboiut (SPOILER) a complicated prank being played on Iraq looters. As a matter of fact (and this is high praise) the book is actually quite similar to some of the great thrillers by the late [Ross Thomas]. Good stuff for a Gibson fan, but not a crossover book for others.”
