EDITOR'S PICK. ""The Cold War comes to vivid life... Reece's background in military intelligence gives the novel authenticity... The action is sharp, the briefing-room politics are tense, and the heist sequences cinematic... Stealing Stealth proves that the most dangerous battleground isn't the Cold War-it's the space between what people are ordered to do and what they're willing to become."" - BookLife Reviews (Publishers Weekly) ""I felt like I was sitting in a dark theater watching one of those big, old-school spy movies... A solid, character-driven spy thriller with a techno edge... the kind of book you pick up for the rooftop chases and Cold War tension and stay for the messy loyalties and bruised hearts underneath."" - Literary Titan ★★★★
