review 1: I enjoyed reading Illegal Action. This book gave few secrets away, right to the ending. Although the story definitely had an ending I still had my doubts about who's side some of the characters were on. If this story is a bit of reality, espionage is a lonely career. A lot of dedication to country or justice is needed to keep you on the job. I usually can see the bad guys and endings of plots pretty quickly, that was not the case with Illegal Action. 4 1/2 stars only because the flow of characters were sometimes confusing.
review 2: Maybe high expectations of Stella Rimington's experience let me down. The book seemed to traverse through a myriad of departments, spy-world contacts and characters, for which (trying to avoid a story spoiler with specifics here) ... moreby the end was very anticlimatic. The say reality is stranger than fiction, but in this case, perhaps the reality this story may have been loosely based upon was more frustrating due to beaurocracy rather than suspense. less
