Goodbye Mexico
by
Phillip Jennings (Goodreads Author)
Intelligence Failure
Two words now joined at the hip. Remember when our alphabet agencies - CIA, DIA, NSA, FBI - were actually competent? Are you sure? Maybe they were just better at burying their mistakes. . . .

As is typical for me, I started out on Phillip Jennings’ work bass-ackwards and read Goodbye Mexico (a sequel) first. Even without having read Jennings’ highly praised first book, Nam-a-Rama, I greatly enjoyed Goodbye Mexico.

I am fond of his light style, not so fond of the way it meanders.
Pretty funny and sarcastic.
Second in my I-didn't-know-it-was-a-sequel series, but first in my heart.
I'm anxious to pick up Nam-A-Rama and see if it leaves me as confused and amused as this one. I don't think I kept the plot straight for more than a page or two, what with all of the double-crossing, who's spying for/sleeping with/working for who drama. But it didn't matter. This is espionage as satire done well.

Sarcasm at its best.
Very funny and amusing.
