This is almost a good spy TV show if they remove the name Hamilton
This is not an adaptation from the books, They use the name and some carracters appear but the story and relations are all wrong
As I see it, (I have read all 12 books), there are a few things that's in the books 1 Name, yes his name is Carl Gustav Gilbert Hamiltom 2 DG, there is a caracter in the swedish military intelligence called DG (Den Gamle = The Old one) Thought in the books he's a sort of mentor to Hmailton and a retiered spymaster. 3 There is a director in the swedish security polis by the name Näslund who hates arabs.. 4 Hamilton Studies Computer Sience in San Diego while secretly being traing by the the Navy seals, he also get some CIA field op training. But details are never explained in the books 5 There is a woman by the name of Mona in PLO intelligence.
The real Hmailton saga takes place in the late stages of the cold war.
Jan Guillou, a swedish journalist/writer set out to write10 books about a swedish spy. A rise and fall you if you willl. He actually wrote 12 books about Hamilton but book 11 is all about a female PLO intelligence officer by the name of Mona and book 12 is to give Hamilton a sort of happy ending. The Books are far better then Ian Flemmings works but they will not land Mr Guillou a Nobel price. They are thouhtfull and entertaining but at times sadly skewd
The two first books became movies where Hamilton was played by the great swedish actor Stellan Skargård.
