I didn't like this one as well as his other novels. Either I didn't identify with the story as well or he didn't know the subject as well.
I'm not sure which. Jul 30, Ed rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Spy thriller fans. Shelves: in-inventory-billings , spy-political-thriller , mooched , reviewed , historical-fiction. This was much better than I expected. I was prepared to abandon it if it wasn't very good. I will have to read more early Stephen Hunter.
Pure Spy, If You Please :: Star Traders: Frontiers General Discussions
The story takes place mostly in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War. The Nationalists led by General Franco and backed by Germany and Italy were trying to re-take the country from the Republicans which were comprised of a number of left wing groups from anarchists to Stalinists.
The main characters are Robert Florry and Julian Raines, two Eton school chums who have fallen out but have both joined the International Brigade. Two other key people are Sylvia, a beautiful young British adventurer and Levitsky, a Trotskyite spymaster and chess champion. The main villain is an American ex-hitman who has become an enforcer for the Stalinists under an assumed name.
There are many twists and turns, sometimes confusing but almost always interesting. Things get sorted out in the end, of course, with even more surprises. The further I got into the story the more I enjoyed it to the point I found it difficult to put the book down.
I recommend it as not only a good spy story but also as a well done piece of historical fiction. Dec 01, Nate Hendrix rated it really liked it. I love Hunter's older books. This is a spy adventure set against the civil war in Spain prior to WW2. That's all you need to know. There will be unexpected twists and turns. But that is what you expect in a spy novel.

Dec 11, Russ rated it it was ok. I loved the backdrop of the Spanish civil war, and the promise of ideological confrontations, shifting allegiances, and physical combat among the partisans. And I followed the English spies well enough here. But there were a few too many layers of Soviet spies to follow.
There's always a risk in spy novels of too much spy vs. The word I'd I loved the backdrop of the Spanish civil war, and the promise of ideological confrontations, shifting allegiances, and physical combat among the partisans. The word I'd use to describe the antagonists and villains in this book is "muddled. In addition to the often secret political motivations of the characters in this story, there is also secrecy involving the personal motivations and love interests of the characters. Characters had emotions and attractions that were revealed toward the end, which seemed to me to contradict their earlier behaviors and actions.
So the romance elements seemed more odd than interesting. Overall, an interesting glimpse at an underexamined historical event, but the execution was a bit uneven. Mar 28, Pete rated it it was ok Shelves: political-intrigue , thriller. His sniper novels are terrific but this was pretty dreadful. Didn't find any of the characters believable and the story is rather convoluted. Might have worked as a straight forward espionage novel but for some reason the author decided it should be about a love triangle where one character is drawn to both a homosexual school chum from days gone by and a white woman.
Nov 16, Adrian Ramos rated it did not like it. Very hard to understand this book. Dealt with a forgotten bit of British and Spanish history. Pre ww2.

Plus I listened to the British accents and unfamiliar colloquialism of the era. Could not even make myself finish it. Disappointed Very hard to understand this book. Different Started slow but I liked the twists. Overall, I enjoyed it. Not at all like his other works.. Jul 18, Phil rated it it was amazing Shelves: Stephen Hunter does it again and again. Tapestry of Spies is one fantastic read.

To Barcelona, Spain he weaves a story that is so profound on historical and weaponry fact. Don't miss this one! Mar 25, Greg rated it it was amazing. A fun spy mystery taking place during the Spanish Civil War. Lots of twists, romance, and adventure. A fun read!

They wrecked the country without much thought for the people who lived there -- many of whom spent the war dodging bullets and trying to live in the midst of all of these people supposedly fighting on their behalf. Into the midst of this sordid slice of 20th century history, thriller writer Stephen Hunter sends Robert Florry, a shabby would-be writer coerced into spying for England's MI-6 intelligence agency. Florry is supposed to link up with his former Eton classmate, Julian Raines, who is writing about the war while also fighting in it and who may have been recruited as a Soviet spy.

Florry is supposed to learn what he can about Raines' connections and loyalties, and act accordingly. The amateur spy's mission will be made that much harder by the presence of a Russian spymaster and former New York City gangster who's a part of one of the many Communist groups using the Spanish war for their own ends, as well as a young Englishwoman who is there to help the Nationalist cause and with whom Robert is falling in love. Hunter is best known for his series of books about covert military sniper Bob Lee Swagger and wrote Tapestry of Spies formerly The Spanish Gambit , after a chess strategy earlier in his career.
But as a movie critic for The Baltimore Sun at the time, he has plenty of writing experience and Spies features him already well in command of his pacing, narrative and style.
