"A brilliant achievement. . . .Like the best work of Greene and Le Carr , it is more than genre fiction; it is literature. . . .[Convergence] is the most plausible, and perhaps the best spy novel ever written by an American." --Arthur Maling, Chicago Tribune "An intelligent, readable novel about two kinds of intrigue--international and bureaucratic. He succeeds admirably at both tasks."--Ross Thomas, Washington Post "A solid, provocative first novel about the 'deadly game of espionage' . . . Thoughtfulness and human frailty take precedence over action and suspense. Irony is the prevailing mode. . . . Fuller depicts intelligence work--its technical minutiae and its vaunted goals--convincingly. And he subtly weaves various parallels into complementary layers of potential convergence."--Jeffrey Burke, Wall Street Journal "A fast-moving, dramatic, thinking person's spy novel."--Nelson DeMille, Newsday
