Praise for David Downing "Full of striking inventions." ─Kingsley Amis, author of Lucky Jim "A beautifully crafted and compelling thriller with a heart-stopping ending as John Russell learns the personal faces of good and evil. An unforgettable read." ─Charles Todd, author of the Inspector Ian Rutledge Series "One of the most intelligent and persuasive realizations of Germany immediately before the war." ─ Wall Street Journal "In the elite company of literary spy masters Alan Furst and Philip Kerr ... [Downing is] brilliant at evoking even the smallest details of wartime Berlin on its last legs." ─ Washington Post " Downing distinguishes himself by eschewing the easy ways out. He doesn't shy away from portraying the cold brutality of the Third Reich, and his characters are far from stereotypes-they're flawed, confused and real." -NPR, Praise for Silesian Station "Grade: A . . . Downing's mingling of history and thrills makes this a must read." -- Rocky Mountain News "Russell is a canny and likable protagonist." -- BookPage "Wry, secretive and clever . . . Russell is good company in this intelligent thriller." -- Hadassah Magazine "Twists and turns aplenty make this espionage novel a superb read full of tension and suspense . . . An amazing piece of fiction which I hope is part of a much larger series." -- Crimespree Magazine Praise for David Downing "Epic in scope, Mr. Downing's "Station" cycle creates a fictional universe rich with a historian's expertise but rendered with literary style and heart." --The Wall Street Journal "Full of striking inventions."

Synopsis
Summer, 1939. British journalist John Russell has just been granted American citizenship in exchange for agreeing to work for American intelligence when his girlfriend Effi is arrested by the Gestapo. Russell hoped his new nationality would let him safely stay in Berlin with Effi and his son, but now he's being blackmailed. To free Effi, he must agree to work for the Nazis. They know he has Soviet connections and want him to pass them false intelligence. Russell consents, but secretly offers his services to the Soviets instead--not for anything too dangerous, though, and only if they'll sneak him and Effi out of Germany if necessary. It's a good plan, but soon things become complicated. A Jewish girl has vanished, and Russell feels compelled to search for her. A woman from his past, a communist, reappears, insisting he help her reconnect with the Soviets, who turn out to demand more than Russell hoped. Meanwhile, Europe lurches toward war, and he must follow the latest stories--to places where American espionage assignments await him., "Grade: A. . . .
