Alex Dryden

Alex Dryden is a writer and journalist with many years experience in security matters. When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, Dryden watched the statues of Lenin fall across the former Soviet Union. Since then he has charted the false dawn of democracy in Russia as the country morphed into the world’s most powerful secret state. Dryden’s knowledge of the secret world in this new and growing East-West conflict makes Red to Black and Moscow Sting seem like an inside view.

Quotes

"MOSCOW STING is a gripping, action-packed insider's view of modern day espionage with a clever twist at the end. Ex-KGB Colonel Anna Resnikov is a terrific heroine, who I hope will return with future adventures."


- Phillip Margolin, New York Times bestselling author of SUPREME JUSTICE

"Dryden follows up his superb debut, Red to Black (2009), with a riveting sequel... Red to Black reinvigorated the classic Cold War espionage genre. Moscow Sting, with its clever, devious, conflicted characters, its tension and verisimilitude, and its complex but fully plausible plot, is every bit as good."


- Booklist (starred review)
"Alex Dryden is a writer who can please everyone from fans of old LeCarre to students of current affairs. MOSCOW STING is a thought-provoking and entertaining follow up to the terrific Red to Black. No sophomore slump here."


- James Grippando, New York Times bestselling author of MONEY TO BURN
"Hands down, one of the most convincing spy stories you'll ever read."


- Lisa Black, author of TRAIL OF BLOOD
Praise for Red to Black:
 
"This reviewer has never read a novel that captures so well what it must be like to live in a world where one party constantly lies to the other, knowing the other will see it as a lie and lie back in return. An exceptional novel by any standard; readers who enjoy a love story mixed with their espionage (à la le Carré‘s The Little Drummer Girl) will appreciate.”
 
 


- Library Journal
"Prescient . . . Red to Black depicts a frightening and ruthless Russia, which answers to nobody."


- The Economist
“The pseudonymous Dryden, a British journalist, eschews both technological marvels and implausible action scenes in his absorbing debut, a spy thriller that exposes the links between the 'old' Russia of the Cold War and the 'new”'Russia of Vladimir Putin. . . . Dryden’s fact-based scenario provides worrisome food for thought.”


- Publishers Weekly
"Red to Black is a terrific espionage novel wrapped in an affecting story of fated love. It also oozes a chilling, timely verisimilitude, and thoughtful newspaper readers can be forgiven for wondering if the 'second KGB President,' Vladimir Putin, didn't begin to execute the Plan less than two years ago. Dryden is a journalist who has specialized in security matters since the Berlin wall fell two decades ago. This is his first novel, and it vaults him directly into the top rank of espionage novelists."
