New George Smiley Novel

[Hayley]

I know there are some John le Carré fans on here; have you seen this?

CAN it be as good? 

[Brian.]

I’m generally not a fan of someone else carrying on a series of novels and I can’t see this being up to the usual le Carre standards. It can work if most of the writing has been done and a novel just needs finishing and editing but writing a completely new work, not for me.
