This is the approach taken by Len Deighton and The Bourne Series, John le Carré, and by Callan, the classic counterpoint to James Bond. Consequently, the stakes tend to be a lot lower: rather than dealing with plots to Take Over the World or completely destroy the rival, Stale Beer plots typically involve seemingly minor plans for the possibility of incremental gain-or which might not in the end significantly change the state of play among the powers. The plots are more gritty and morally ambiguous, spying reflects power politics between whichever nations or organizations are involved, and other nations and people are caught in the crossfire. Spying is stressful, and you may end up a paranoid alcoholic or worse. It involves Dead Drops, brush-pasts, blackmail, and morally iffy things.

Predating the Martini approach, this is the Darker and Edgier spy game in that it does not romanticize the profession. Stale Beer Flavored Spy Fiction could also be called the Trenchcoat Approach.

Also known as the Eurospy style, after the many low-budget European spy movies in The '60s that tried to cash in on the success of Bond. The main example here is, of course, James Bond, particularly the movies. Despite the glamour, spying is not for the faint of heart, as it is fraught with danger and the stakes are massive.

This is the Hotter and Sexier spy game, with a more glamorized and idealistic approach, clearly defined 'good guys' and 'bad guys' and more of an action movie feel, sometimes to the point where nobody ever actually spies on anyone. This involves glamorous parties, fast cars, hot women in Spy Catsuits, Sex-Face Turns, high-risk casino games, cool gadgets, and brutal fights involving guns, fists, and big explosions (swap those adjectives around as you wish). Martini Flavored ( shaken, not stirred) Spy Fiction is what you might call the Tuxedo Approach.Spy Fiction tends to fall along a spectrum of what we've dubbed 'flavours': From 'Martini' to 'Stale Beer'. Related to the Action Series, although not necessarily a series, and not necessarily even action-heavy, it's any work in which the main character or characters are spies, secret agents, double agents, or some other form of espionage professional.
