 Even better than 'Zoo Station'... December 22, 2008
Per Lilleaas (Queensland, Australia)
'Silesian Station' is an excellent description of Nazi Germany and Central Europe on the brink of World War II and in my opinion even tops the very readable 'Zoo Station'. What makes David Downing's two John Russell novels stand apart from other spy thrillers is the cast of flawed but very sympathetic characters led by the British-American protagonist who is caught between his hatred of the regime and a wish to be close to his German son.
Convincing and compelling November 3, 2008

Like Zoo Station, this is a thoroughly detailed and gripping historical spy novel. Appealing are the backdrop, the gathering pace and especially the way the lead character falls into a horribly complicated situation without really trying. Really good, I await the third volume with bated breath.
 A thriller of some class April 6, 2008
ST FERGUSON (Bromsgrove, UK)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I really liked "Zoo Station", the first John Russell thriller but with "Silesian Station", David Downing has crafted a thriller of some class worthy of the likes of Alan Furst or John le Carre.
"Silesian Station" is a well-written, well-researched thriller set in Berlin in the weeks leading up to the outbreak of the Second World War. John Russell, a journalist, becomes involved in espionage, in the embryonic Jewish resistance and in the hunt for a young woman who has disappeared shortly after arriving in Berlin.
The characters are well drawn, the plot measured and the atmosphere evoked outstanding. In Russell, David Downing has created an excellent character of some complexity.
I look forward eagerly to the third book in the series.
