Praise for DAVID STONE'S THE ORPHEUS DECEPTION:

"The grandiose greed of a Balkan warlord sets infernal machinery in motion from Venice to Singapore in a follow-up to The Echelon Vendetta (2007). Micah Dalton, the CIA “cleaner” who had an extraordinarily complex mess to tidy up in his first adventure, is thrown back in the mix before fully recovering from the hallucinogens administered in the last adventure. He continues to see the ghost of old associate Porter Naumann, who warns him of dark days ahead, and the ghost does indeed seem to know whereof he speaks. "

                 - KIRKUS – March 1, 2008

"Readers hungry for sex, bloody action and flag-waving patriotism will best appreciate this sequel to Stone's debut, The Echelon Vendetta, which likewise starred CIA agent Micah Dalton. The disparate elements of this testosterone-fueled thriller gradually come together, including a stabbing in Venice; the hijacking of a freighter in the South China Sea; a rogue SAS (Special Air Service) agent, Ray Fyke, imprisoned in Singapore's notorious Changi prison; and a Serbian mafia leader with grandiose ambitions. Each piece of the puzzle carries its own carnage and enough international intrigue to effectively make Dalton and his putative allies the only ones who can salvage the situation. Stone handles with aplomb such details as weapons technology, bureaucratic bumbling and ship navigation in treacherous seas, then tests the limits of human endurance with his heroes Dalton and Fyke. "

Praise for DAVID STONE'S THE ECHELON VENDETTA:

“A terrific read. The Echelon Vendetta is terrifying, stylish, action-packed. David Stone lays claim to a corner of Ludlum territory and makes it his own.”
                 - JOHN LESCROART, New York Times–bestselling author of THE HUNT CLUB

“Intelligent writing, vivid characters and spellbinding, heart-pounding, hallucinogenic plotting—The Echelon Vendetta combines the eloquence of Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River, the plotting of the best Robert Ludlum novels, and the brains of a John LeCarré. I promise: you’ll love this book. I did.”
                 - RIDLEY PEARSON, New York Times–bestselling author of THE DIARY OF ELLEN RIMBAUER

"This extraordinarily suspenseful debut novel is the best CIA / intelligence story I have read. With characters who are rendered very (almost frighteningly) real, this is a whodunit for the 21st century."

                 - EDMUND M KAUFMAN, 'M' is for Mystery - Book Sense Picks, MARCH 2007

"In this auspicious debut novel, Stone introduces Micah Dalton, a CIA agent assigned to a unit  that cleans up the messes left behind by field agents when things go wrong. Stone not only knows the espionage scene but also how
to plot a complicated, fast-paced thriller.  Fans of the genre should take Dalton for an adrenaline-fueled test drive.
                 - TOM MILLER,  Military.com

"The human animal is capable of all but unimaginable cruelty. Of course, we already know that from reading the papers  and watching the evening news, but if you want to curl up with a novelistic
reminder, "The Echelon Vendetta" will do just fine.
                  - PATRICK ANDERSON, The Washington  Post

" Fast-moving, smart, sexy and alarming. Everything you want in a thriller".
                 - KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred review)

"Remember the name David Stone because in the future everyone will know him as a top thriller writer. THE ECHELON VENDETTA takes the reader into the shadowy areas of a CIA operation that is a normal activity for the agency".
                 - HARRIET KLAUSNER
