Victor in the Rubble and Victor in the Jungle
Spy Novels by Alex Finley
Book •
In 'Victor in the Rubble' (2016), Victor Caro battles global terrorism, his own agency's bureaucracy, and a corrupt senator, while in 'Victor in the Jungle' (2019), he is posted in a fictional African nation and later in a setting similar to Venezuela, where he deals with drug cartels, a corrupt dictator, and internal bureaucratic struggles.
Both novels are characterized by their satirical take on espionage and bureaucracy, highlighting the universal nature of stupidity and ineptitude across different national and ideological contexts.
