Publisher's summary

The dawn of an inconceivable act of treason rises. The stakes for America’s future have never been higher than in a gripping novel of suspense by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Deep Sleep.

When CIA officer Helen Gray died, her son, Devin, a countersurveillance expert, inherited her paranoia—and the explosive evidence that gave it weight: a vast, previously undetected Russian sleeper network has operated in the United States since the Cold War.

The cells aren’t just embedded in every level of state and federal government. They’ve penetrated corporations that supply crucial technology to the Department of Defense and various intelligence agencies. With the network’s true scope still unknown, the only way to drive a stake through the heart of the conspiracy is to dispatch a covert crew to Moscow and eliminate the oligarch bankrolling it.

Russia’s endgame: inconceivable. Devin’s challenge: stop the greatest threat to national security and world peace in history. The margin for error: nonexistent.

Like the story!

Very much liked the story and highly recommend. The narrator was very good at describing the story, but in my opinion was not very good at using different voices.

Said (insert character name)

I admit I couldn't finish the story. I was annoyed and put off by the "(insert character name) said" after every line. To me it demonstrates an immature writer (think a fourth grader), and poor character development where you have to be tell who is speaking. the story, what I did listen to, was weak and drawn out. I was hoping for so much better.

Not a standalone novel.

I really liked Devin Gray and his cohorts, however, the Devin Gray books are not stand-alone novels. This book is essentially just a series of action sequences that continue the cliffhanger ending of the first book, Deep Sleep. Coming Down bridges the gap from Deep Sleep to the third book in the series, Wide Awake, which finally concludes Devin Gray's adventure. The author writes convincing characters, and I especially appreciate that his female characters are strong, capable, smart, and valuable. His story was excellent, but it felt a bit like cheating to spread one story over three separate books.

Moments I Stopped Breathing

There are no slow pages in this 2nd book (and yes, the 1st book is a must before this one). It is heart-quickening action throughout, suspense building endlessly. Masterful writing by Konkoly. A++

Heart pounding!!

This series is exciting and perfect for anyone who loves a good ‘spy’ story. Devin is smart and resourceful…and seems to get into trouble wherever he goes! Really enjoyed this book.

This premise will keep you up at night

This could very well have happened. The storyline is current and terrifying. I thought it was about one part too long. Lots of violence and F bombs. Interesting the way agencies interacted, or didn’t

Thrill a minute, maybe 2!

Looked interesting so I grabbed it, it made no sense, I started over twice and realized it was book 2 of a series so I grabbed book 1. I’m glad I did, great story, great characters, a real page turner. But read “Deep Sleep” first.

Devon Grey series is outstanding!

Glad to see new books by Steven Konkoly. Readers of his other series will appreciate the characters in these stories.
