‘From the depths of the Pacific and the depths of CIA covert
operations comes an absorbing tale of daring engineers and shadowy
espionage. A terrific read.’
*David E. Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author of The Billion
Dollar Spy*
‘A riveting account of the American intelligence community. Told in
fascinating detail, The Taking of K-129 is nonfiction at its best
because with every page I had to remind myself this actually
happened.’
*Kevin Maurer, co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller No
Easy Day*
‘Josh Dean has a gift for unearthing remarkable stories lost to
history, and in The Taking of K-129 he has uncovered perhaps the
most remarkable one of all – a story replete with spies and
engineering marvels and a secret drama unfolding thousands of feet
beneath the sea. Brilliantly researched and beautifully written,
this is a book you can’t put down.’
*David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the
Flower Moon*
‘As a former submariner and navy diver, I give Josh Dean an A+ for
The Taking of K-129. This non-fiction account of one of the most
dangerous and daring missions of the Cold War is well-researched
and reads like a Tom Clancy thriller.’
*W. Craig Reed, bestselling author of Red November*
‘If you’ve been hungry for a submarine tale in the league of The
Hunt For Red October, but subscribe to the belief that the truth is
stranger than fiction, you’ll devour The Taking of K-129, an epic
befitting the top shelf of espionage and military reads. Prepare
for impact – you won’t be able to put this one down.’
