I think that you'll find that "The Secret Pilgrim" has relitively little 
to do with George Smiley.  George is in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold 
as much as he is in TSP.  Also  In order to have a trilogy you need to 
have three books.  You are missing The Honourable Schoolboy from the 
Quest for Karla trilogy.
