Tara Chance is a spy (or 'minder') working for M16. Her life is miserable and unglamorous. The missions she undertakes are portrayed realistically and are often brutish, messy and unresolved. As opposed to a refined sip of a martini reading Queen & Country is like glugging a whole bottle of cheap, nasty vodka (I hope that doesn't put you off reading it - because bits of it are really good). With black and white artwork from a wide range of artists (which means it can be a bit hit and miss at points) the stories are divided into 'Operations' which means that you can pick it up at any point - but it's worth reading them in order to appreciate the slow building up and disintegration of the relationships between the minders. So yeah: terrorism, intrigue and deadly assassins - what's not to love?
