No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
London, 1963. A cryptic phone call forces ex-MI6 agent Andrew Hale to
confront the nightmare that has haunted his adult life: an ultra-secret
wartime operation, codenamed Declare.
Operation Declare took Hale
from Nazi-occupied Paris to the ruins of post-war Berlin and the
trackless wastes of the Arabian desert, culminating in a night of
betrayal and mind-shattering terror on the glacial slopes of Mount
Ararat.
Now, with the Cold War at its height, his superiors want
him to return to the mountain and face the dark secret entombed within
its icy summit. Hale has no choice but to comply, for Declare is the key
to a conflict far deeper, far colder, than the Cold War itself.
'Tim Powers is a brilliant writer. Declare's occult subtext for the
deeper Cold War is wonderfully original and brilliantly executed' -
William Gibson
'Dazzling - a tour de force, a brillant blend of John Le
Carre spy fiction with the otherworldly, packed with historical fact,
dazzling flights of imagination, and wonderful suspense' - Dean Koontz
'Philip K. Dick felt that one day Tim Powers would be one of our
greatest fantasy writers. Phil was right' - Roger Zelazny
'If you've
ever woken half way through a fabulous dream and desperately wanted to
know what would have happened next: relax. Those unfinished stories go
to Tim Powers, and he's good enough to write them down for all of us' -
Nick Harkaway
'A brilliant, strange crossbreed of the spy thriller and
the supernatural' - China Mieville
