The New Novel by Daniel J. Davies
Advance Praise for BOMBMAKER by Daniel Davies
“BOMBMAKER is the bravest novel I’ve read since Robert Stone’s masterpiece, A FLAG FOR SUNRISE. Here’s a novel that perfectly mixes page-turning tension, intricately-drawn characters, and political sophistication. Without question, BOMBMAKER has my vote for debut of the year.”– Roland Merullo, author of Breakfast with Buddha, A Little Love Story, and The Talk-Funny Girl
5-star Review by Indie Reader.
“Stories like these are difficult to handle intelligently and compassionately, but Davies does so admirably, balancing the pair’s mutual wit and earnestness throughout a tense narrative and creating a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers—or simply of psychology. With BOMBMAKER, Daniel J. Davies presents a surprising thriller: one in which a dead man speaks volumes and both sides of an unusual suicide bombing are equally engaging.” –Indie Reader
“9/10. There is a level of urgency that runs throughout the entire novel, creating a tension-filled storyline that makes this book stand out.” –BookLife
When interrogator Emma Ripley learns of an imminent attack on US soil, she is not surprised. What does shock her is when the most valuable prisoner ever to arrive in custody is handed to her. Georges Subdallah is a US citizen, long ago radicalized, and the most skilled bombmaker in the world. He is a man long thought dead – the famous architect of his own horrific suicide bombing years ago. In him, Emma faces her most complex and urgent counterintelligence order: to extract key intel to stop the largest attack in US history. To do so, she must reach a man willing to die for his cause, who has sat maimed and broken these last years in a secret building. To prevent further bloodshed she must learn what made him turn against his country, what brought a model US citizen, with a wife and young daughter, to blow himself up.
