Before there was The Company, Robert Littell made a name for himself with this cold war thriller.
A.J. Lewinter is an American scientist, for years an insignificant cog in America's complex defense machinery. While at an academic conference in Tokyo, Lewinter contacts the KGB station chief and says he wants to defect. He tantalizes the Russians with U.S. military secrets he claims to possess, but is his defection genuine? Neither the Russians nor the Americans are sure. The superpowers are locked in a deadly contest that exploits friendships, destroys loyalties, and manipulates human beings as expendable pawns—as Lewinter is swept up in a terrifying political chess match of deceit and treachery.

"Concise, smart and funny, this novel turns Cold War spy cliches on their head." (Publishers Weekly)
"Littell deserves his comparisons with Deighton and le Carre." (The Times, London)

Would you listen to The Defection of A.J. Lewinter again? Why?
noWhat about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?
his voice is mellow and he does different characters in a slightly different way so that it is easy to follow who is speaking when the author does not write in who says what. He rarely does a sudden change to the volumeof his voice (it is REALLY ANNOYING to have your eardrums blasted as some narrators do) .Any additional comments?
leaves you hanging a bit at the end, but the story line is good and it makes you think.Well Done
