New York Times bestselling author Olen Steinhauer brings back Milo Weaver in The Last Tourist.

In Olen Steinhauer’s bestseller An American Spy, reluctant CIA agent Milo Weaver thought he had finally put “Tourists”―CIA-trained assassins―to bed.

A decade later, Milo is hiding out in Western Sahara when a young CIA analyst arrives to question him about a series of suspicious deaths and terrorist chatter linked to him.

Their conversation is soon interrupted by a new breed of Tourists intent on killing them both, forcing them to run.

As he tells his story, Milo is joined by colleagues and enemies from his long history in the world of intelligence, and the young analyst wonders what to believe. He wonders, too, if he’ll survive this encounter.

After three standalone novels, Olen Steinhauer returns to the series that made him a New York Times bestseller.

Review

CRIMEREADS – ONE OF THE BEST ESPIONAGE NOVELS OF THE YEAR

“A whirlwind odyssey . . . Mr. Steinhauer does a bang-up job." ― The Wall Street Journal

“Lauded for modernizing the espionage genre, Steinhauer pushes it even further . . . an intriguing way to reboot a series readers didn’t know they missed until it was gone.” ― The Los Angeles Times

“Olen Steinhauer is one of the most talented of the new generation of spy writers. His characters are nuanced, his storylines rooted in today’s headlines but with added zing, like a burst of citrus in a dry Martini.” ― The Financial Times

“Once you read [The Last Tourist], you will want to go back and read the others, so just get them all and block out a long weekend to enjoy some of the finest modern spy thrillers.” ― Bookpage, Starred Review

“[Olen Steinhauer] ranks with John le Carré and such other guaranteed masters of spy fiction.” ― The Toronto Star

“Like John le Carré's Agent Running in the Field (2019), Steinhauer pits a disenchanted agent, an ideologue no more, against the new evil empire, multinational corporations for whom "money knows no borders." It's not a fair fight, but Milo is a hell of a counterpuncher, and we love rooting for him.” ― Booklist, Starred Review

“Stunning . . . The author does a masterly job of evoking dingy desert cities and the rarified air of Davos, Switzerland. Steinhauer reinforces his position at the top of the espionage genre.” ― Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“Perhaps the best contemporary writer of espionage thrillers.” ― The National Book Review

“Exhilarating.” ― CrimeReads

Page turner read it in about 24 hours

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

From the reviews I had read I was expecting a book filled with political propaganda even though I had been a fan of the earlier books (why I purchased it even with its reviews). It turns out it is Olen Steinhauer at his best with complexity, action and intrigue from all around the globe. Milo Weaver is such a good character because he doesn't know everything ahead of time and this gets him into dangerous predicaments. Now if this book had a political slant to it I would have put it down and moved to the other book I received along with it that day. Instead, as usual Steinhauer puts his protagonist in today's world with an issue (and a new potential protagonist [Abdul]) that has him in over his head and fighting to tread water so he can find the shore.
The plot is very real and believable which is why some corporation may have tried to turn the reviews into supposedly the book being a political basher so as to antagonize possible likely readers into not buying and / or reading the book. If you fall for that manipulation not only will you miss out on an excellent read but you will fall prey to how the media can be manipulated so facts are turned on themselves.
Steinhauer also writes suspense and intrigue, with some violent action but not too much or too gory, that it is realistic without being overly sensational. This is a book that you can let your high school child read and they will like it because they can understand the characters and the issues which are more than caricatures (Bourne and Bond) but more like early LeCarre.

Time for a Milo Hiatus?

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

Olen Steinhauer is indisputably a compelling and talented story teller. The Tourist series has been fascinating and immensely enjoyable. But, all things run their course and Milo Weaver's story has joined other great characters in not having a ready answer to the question " what now?"

Time to let the tales of Milo and company pause and hopefully refresh.

I found myself wanting to love this book but feelung instead "when will it end". This would have been better as a long short story-the coda to the Tourist and Milo's career. Instead, it looks like Steinhauer cant bring himself to end it which attenuated the too twisty plot and resulted, fir me, in exhaustion.

This wasn't a page turner. I could and did put it down for long stretches. Not a great sign. The ending gives the author (and publisher?) options but doesnt give much satisfaction or closure to the reader.

So, thanks for a great run. Give it a rest for a while. Find another plot gem and create a new series of unforgettable characters.

Milo, hope to see you again; but, if not you gave us a hell of a ride.

Current, complex and entertaining

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020

Steinhauer is back, at his best with Milo Weaver as the underrated anti-hero. Yes, its a complicated read and to some, confusing. Its a thinking book. So much better that his Cairo Affair and The Old Knives books, which were slow, and below his talent. Weaver is a great character, not an inhuman super hero such as John Wells, Gabriel Allon etc, who's books are repetitive nonrealistic simplistic plots.
And Steinhauer's commentary concerning climate change, environmental decline, authoritarian growth globally, , trumpian malfeasance is timely, factual and real.
Mr Steinhauer, keep up the good work, entertain us with more Weaver books !!!!!!!

A Complex International Spy Thriller

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2020

The novel starts with Abdul Ghali, CIA desk-bound Africa analyst, is called into his section head’s office. He was handed a thick and heavily redacted file on a former employee, Milo Weaver, who had left the CIA to work with the United Nations. Weaver also seems to have connections to a terrorist group, the Massive Brigade, and several months ago he dropped off the grid. He was just found in Western Sahara, and his section chief wanted him to go there and ask him 20 questions. Abdul is not sure why he was chosen. His parents are from that part of the world. He knows the native language. But, he never had been a field operative. Also, Milo is American and is fluent in English! Lastly, there is a CIA operative in Western Sahara. When Abdul is interviewing Milo, they are interrupted, and Milo tells Abdul why he was selected! The main storyline shifts back and to cover the time when Milo went off the grid.

For me the main storyline started very slowly. This first section did not capture my attention and left me wanting. That quickly changed at the very end of the first section through the rest of the novel. Eventually, the main storyline captured my attention. The cast is very diverse from multiple to many people from two terror groups, CIA, diplomatic and intelligence services from 12 countries, an NGO intelligence organization, and a global cabal of companies. The action stretches from Japan west to the United States and Northern Africa to central Europe. To add a little more flavor to this mix, global real events are sprinkled throughout the novel. On the plus side there are plenty twists and misdirections in the plot that helped keep my interest.

The B-storyline also is rich and complex. Milo seems to have a personal relationship with many of the characters in the novel. Much of Milo’s history is covered is covered; the essentials that make him Milo. Abdul’s character and background with his family also is covered in depth. These story lines are well integrated into the main storyline, and for me enriched the novel and my enjoyment.

There is not any sex. The violence is both described after the fact and some as it occurs. The language is moderate with a few very vulgar terms included. This level was not a negative mark for me but may be by some readers sensitive to this. Because of the large number of characters, I did use the search capability of my e-reader quite a few times to refresh my memory of who’s who. Lastly, this is the fourth book in the series, and the first that I have read. I did not feel after reading this novel that I needed to have read the others. When I looked up the titles of the other novels, I would say you still can read this novel first, but you may enjoy it more if you read the other novels first.

Overall, this was a slow but enjoyable read for me. It was a little more challenging for me that the novels I usually read. This novel did meet my criteria for a high rating but not the highest. I rate this novel with four stars. If this novel looks interesting, do give it a try.

I have received a free e-book version of this novel through NetGalley from St Martin’s Press with an expectation for an honest, unbiased review. I wish to thank St Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read and review this novel early.

Complex, prescient & scary

Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

Having read some reviews posted here, I guess I can understand why there is some criticism of so-called “lefty” influence. So if you don’t think authoritarianism is a danger & approve of the likes of Trump, Putin, Bolsanaro, bin Salzman etc then, perhaps, it is not for you. Same goes for climate change. If you think it’s a hoax, then don’t read it!
The book is complex, prescient & downright scary in its implications. The world is trending towards Corporatocracy, led by authoritarian leaders. Steinhauer takes us down this twisted, complex road with beautiful prose. Is it complicated? You bet! It’s a spy novel & he is the best at his craft! More please!

A weak story from a usually excellent writer.

Reviewed in Canada on May 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

It’s hard to believe this book was written by the same author as the excellent Yalta Boulevard Quintet, five of my favourites. I have to agree with several other reviewers about the choppiness of the plot, the too numerous characters, many inserted into the story just so they could die soon after arriving; and the unnecessary preaching about climate change and “populism”. Then there is the overall unbelievability of the overlapping plots. Was this intended as a plot for a TV series? That could explain some of the plot changes.
