An international thriller of espionage, war, and love, interwoven with profound, world-changing events. Reluctant CIA operative Stone Waverly travels a shadowy trail from Odessa to Damascus, as agents with terror links evade an international dragnet.

• Great Book! 04 July, 2008
One of the best action adventure stories I've read since Black Hawk Down. It's a well-written, fast-paced page-turner that focuses on the current situation in Iraq and Syria. Highly recommended!

• Wow!! Even Better Than Winter In Kandahar! 12 February, 2008
I just got this book last weekend and once I started reading it my family lost me until I finished a few hours ago. "Couldn't put it down" definitely applies. What a great story! (or should I say stories? There are three parallel stories that converge to a memorable ending). Adventure, romance, interpersonal conflict, combat, humor...Ascent From Darkness has it all. It would definitely make a fantastic movie. Wilson's first book, Winter in Kandahar, is a great favorite of mine, but you can see maturation in his writing style and plot development with this new novel. At the end of the book, it mentions a new novel "The Ghosts of Anatolia" is coming in 2009. I can't wait!

• Outstanding Storytelling! 30 June, 2008
I finally got around to reading Ascent from Darkness and I loved it. Like Winter in Kandahar, it's intriguing plot centers around an ethnic group, here the Kurds in northern Iraq, and provides a lot of perspective about the current situation in Iraq, especially the relations between the different groups. The novel is multi-layered and I found the characters credible and engaging. I highly recommend it.

• Another Great Read From Dr. Wilson 19 November, 2007
After reading Winter in Kandahar, I couldn't wait to order Ascent from Darkness, though I don't typically order until they come out in paperback. This book brought home the enormous difficulties of the Iraqi war, coupled with several wonderfully intriquing romances throughout the book. I love the way Dr. Wilson weaves his tale with such rich descriptions of his characters; I finished the book in record time, feeling as though I had known each of "his" people myself. Both Ascent from Darkness and Winter in Kandahar are well worthy of screenwriting.

• Action Adventure Thriller And Romance Too 04 July, 2008
We just read this book for my book club after one of the member's husbands, a Special Forces Major, recommended it. I was reluctant to read a book with soldiers on the cover, but read it because it was a finalist in the Indie Book Awards in Action adventure. I was delighted with the romance aspect of the novel. You'll love it!
