The Quiet Eagle by Gabriel Valjan

A propulsive ride through the 1950s world of political unrest and international espionage, The Quiet Eagle delivers a realistic behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of a CIA operative. If you enjoy a good spy novel, you’ll love this immersive experience delving into the mind of Agent Walker during his latest assignment.

 With historical accuracy, author Valjan creates international intrigue in the city of Cairo, where Walker isn’t sure who to trust as the Suez Canal Crisis leads to a shift in global powers. Loyalties and friendships that can’t be depended upon, and discrepancies between official government positions and underlying motives, create suspense with an ominous undertone. Blame is wrongly assigned, lives are destroyed, and governments are at risk of crumbling when the end justifies the means.

Descriptive scenes bring the city of Cairo to life with its sights, sounds, smells, and oppressive heat. Cairo is a living character, witness to the consequences of action or inaction employed to carry out political agendas. As Walker and his associates perform their duties with assumed detachment, Valjan draws out intense emotions in the reader. Crisp dialogue, relationships that suffer, and unknown variables keep the pages turning.

A haunting perspective of what rules the world, The Quiet Eagle, the latest in The Company Files series, delivers an intense read with its clandestine, fast-paced world of espionage. This series is the perfect fit for history buffs who enjoy high-stakes fiction based on real twentieth century global events.
