David McCloskey recommends

Pariah (2025)
Dan Fesperman
"Twisty, topical, and often darkly comedic, Pariah is Fesperman at his best, spinning a tale not just of suspense, double-dealing, and international intrigue, but a deeper story about love and redemption. This is essential spy reading for understanding the turbulence of our modern times."

The Havana Syndrome (2025)
(Nathan Burke, book 1)
Jeffrey James Higgins
"...a propulsive, white-knuckle ride into the shadowy world of espionage and global conspiracy... This one is not to be missed."

Unknown Rider (2023)
(Battle Born , book 1)
Jack Stewart
"A deeply authentic immersion into the heart and soul of the modern fighter pilot. I could not put it down."
