Billion Dollar Brain by Len Deighton reviewed as spy tale
Review of Len Deighton's Billion Dollar Brain notes the nameless hero moves through Helsinki, the USSR, New York, Texas and London with forged Irish papers. The plot pits a British outfit against a private American espionage group Faels for Freedom led by General Midwinter and a giant computer. The reviewer finds the book entertaining and authentic, though not as strong as The Ipcress File and Horse Under Water.
