An international thriller of espionage, war, and love, interwoven with profound, world-changing events. Reluctant CIA operative Stone Waverly travels a shadowy trail from Odessa to Cologne to Amsterdam to Damascus, as agents with terror links evade an international dragnet. Everyone is suspect and nothing is as it seems, in a land where Islamic extremists determined to plunge civilization into darkness battle with special forces, Kurds, and Arabs intent on restoring hope to a world gone mad.
Thrilling and compelling
| Customer Rating: | I am so thrilled that Stone Waverly is back!
I do not like to read books about war, but a friend convinced me to read Steve Wilson's first book, Winter in Kandahar, and I couldn't put the book down. There began my love of Stone Waverly.
So naturally, between Steve Wilson's compelling storytelling and style of writing, I was thrilled to learn of his second book, Ascent From Darkness. I was equally as thrilled to learn that Stone Waverly continues on his journey.
I have not changed my mind and decided to read books on war, but Ascent from Darkness is a book about mysterious happenings wrapped in the most mysterious of all happenings - love.
May Mr. Wilson keep me anxiously turning the pages of Stone Waverly's life adventures for years to come!
P.S. I expect some smart movie producer to purchase the movie rights to both Winter In Kandahar and Ascent From Darkness and turn them into the blockbusters they so deserve to be!

Action adventure thriller and romance too
| Customer Rating: | | We just read this book for my book club after one of the member's husbands, a Special Forces Major, recommended it. I was reluctant to read a book with soldiers on the cover, but read it because it was a finalist in the Indie Book Awards in Action adventure. I was delighted with the romance aspect of the novel. You'll love it! |
Great book!
| Customer Rating: | | One of the best action adventure stories I've read since Black Hawk Down. It's a well-written, fast-paced page-turner that focuses on the current situation in Iraq and Syria. Highly recommended! |
Outstanding storytelling!
| Customer Rating: | | I finally got around to reading Ascent from Darkness and I loved it. Like Winter in Kandahar, it's intriguing plot centers around an ethnic group, here the Kurds in northern Iraq, and provides a lot of perspective about the current situation in Iraq, especially the relations between the different groups. The novel is multi-layered and I found the characters credible and engaging. I highly recommend it. |
Wow!! Even better than Winter in Kandahar!
| Customer Rating: | | I just got this book last weekend and once I started reading it my family lost me until I finished a few hours ago. "Couldn't put it down" definitely applies. What a great story! (or should I say stories? There are three parallel stories that converge to a memorable ending). Adventure, romance, interpersonal conflict, combat, humor...Ascent From Darkness has it all. It would definitely make a fantastic movie. Wilson's first book, Winter in Kandahar, is a great favorite of mine, but you can see maturation in his writing style and plot development with this new novel. At the end of the book, it mentions a new novel "The Ghosts of Anatolia" is coming in 2009. I can't wait! |
