"<span>Summary:<span>In Olen Steinhauer's bestseller The Tourist, reluctant CIA agent Milo Weaver uncovered a conspiracy linking the Chinese government to the highest reaches of the American intelligence community, including his own Department of Tourism--the most clandestine department in the Company. The shocking blowback arrived in The Nearest Exit when the Department of Tourism was almost completely wiped out as the result of an even more insidious plot. Following on the heels of these two spectacular novels comes An American Spy, Olen Steinhauer's most stunning thriller yet. With only a handful of "tourists"--CIA-trained assassins--left, Weaver would like to move on and use this as an opportunity to regain a normal life, a life focused on his family. His former boss in the CIA, Alan Drummond, can't let it go. When Alan uses one of Milo's compromised aliases to travel to London and then disappears, calling all kinds of attention to his actions, Milo can't help but go in search of him. Worse still, it's beginning to look as if Tourism's enemies are gearing up for a final, fatal blow."

The definition "a collection of images" and "special usage of words in which there is a change in their basic meaning with a literal and sensory suggestive aspect" refers to:
<u>Imagery.</u>
- We use figurative language when we change the basic or literal meaning of words. By using figurative language, we can convey ideas and opinions, or describe scenes and actions in a more compelling way.
- One type of figurative language is imagery. With imagery, we use words in a sensory way. That meas we use words that appeal to the five senses in order to describe something more vividly.
- If someone tells you, "<u>What a beautiful day it is today,</u>" he is not using imagery. There is not much detail to the day's description.
- A beautiful day to you may different from a beautiful day to this person, so you will likely imagine something distinct from what he wants to convey.
- Now, that same person could use imagery by saying, "The blue sky stretches to as far as the eye can see. The sun, shining down its yellowish rays, disappears only occasionally behind a cotton-like cloud. A soft breeze touches the trees lightly, having them sway in the sunlit meadow."
- The example above uses imagery that allows you to clearly visualize what the beautiful day looks like. By mentioning the colors, the sun, and the breeze, we can imagine the picture with more vivid details.
