Saul David recommends
thumb
Duty Calls (2023)
(Daniel Ambler, book 1)
Thomas Waugh
"A gripping spy thriller which will keep the reader guessing till the very last sence. Waugh is able to blend together both suspense and satire like few other authors."
thumb
This Fragile Earth (2021)
Susannah Wise
"Susannah Wise's first novel is a dystopian triumph: dark, compelling, and all too believable like an extended episode of Black Mirror, it reminds us of the power of love."
thumb
Unintended Consequences (2021)
(Tales of the Sea, book 5)
Richard Woodman
"Richard Woodman knows how to tell a story, but has a healthy respect for history."
