Loved the movie based on the book but this set of short stories was so bad that I could only rread about half. The story lines were so confusing and non-sensible I was unable to understand were they were going. Avoid this book
There are six novellas/short stories in the collection. Like most collections, I really enjoyed some of the stories and others not so much. The best part of the book was reading about an old spy, someone not in their prime.
I received "Condor: The Short Takes" for free from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. Before diving into this collection of short stories and novellas, I read "Six Days of the Condor", Mr. Grady's debut novel, and the basis for the classic film "Three Days of the Condor" starring Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway.

3.0 stars. Several short stories that really tie together and form a novella. The writing style was slightly bizzare, but maybe to parallel the crazy mental state of protagonist Condor, who spent some time in an black-site insane clinic. The Russian Roulette story the best.
Felt like I was reading a John Wick movie! Loved all the action
This author was a one-hit wonder with his first Condor novel. The rest are garbage. Yikes, what I pity even the writing is bad.
