'Damascus Station is simply marvellous storytelling...a stand-out
thriller and essential reading for fans of the genre' - Financial
Times
'Superb breathlessly gripping thrilling & truly terrifying, written
in unadorned style by an CIA agent, almost real in its details of
CIA espionage in Syria, savage feuds within Assad palace, intrigues
of Mideast. Highly recommended' - Simon Sebag Montefiore
'So staggeringly good, I nearly cannot believe it's a debut novel.
David McCloskey is a spectacular talent. Even this early in his
career, he calls to mind Frederick Forsyth and Daniel Silva' - New
York Times bestselling Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X
'For an authentic representation of what it's like to work in
intelligence, look no further than Damascus Station. McCloskey has
captured it all: the breathtaking close calls, the hand in glove of
tech and ops, the heartbreaking disappointments, the thrill of a
hard-won victory' - Alma Katsu, author of Red Widow and former CIA
and NSA analyst
'The most realistic and authentic depiction of modern-day
tradecraft in nonpermissive and hostile environments you will find
in print. I am shocked the CIA's Publication Review Board allowed
David McCloskey's Damascus Station to see the light of day. Read it
now, before it is banned!' - Jack Carr, Navy SEAL sniper and New
York Times bestselling author of The Devil's Hand
