“The truth is out there . . . but start with this book.”—Chris Carter, creator, The X-Files
“The Havana Syndrome is terrific—and terrifying. The authors have cut through the fog of secrets, screwups, and cover-ups to bring you this illuminating book. It will rob you of your sleep and send shivers up your spine.”—Tim Weiner, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Mission and Legacy of Ashes
“Compelling . . . Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados . . . present the clearest picture yet of this series of strange, clandestine attacks. No one has spoken with more victims than they have, and no one has followed the syndrome’s journey more closely.”—Financial Times
“[A] startling exposé . . . Rey and Zill . . . make the strongest case yet that these hits—some officials estimate there have been thousands—are intentional attacks by Russian agents and their proxies, using a futuristic and sinister energy weapon. . . . The Central Intelligence Agency, the authors convincingly argue, have been desperate to conceal the damage done to Americans as they have served their country. . . . The authors have clearly worked closely with the victims of these attacks, some of them C.I.A. officers who have come from the shadows to talk about their experiences. . . . The authors’ descriptions of their pain, in horrific, visceral terms, feel all too real. . . . The authors’ work is admirable and compelling.”—The New York Times
“This is the book America needs right now. . . . This work by Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados is not just a thriller. It is a tour de force of journalism, among the highest examples of what our profession is and can be. The Havana Syndrome is a tale for the ages because it exposes how government continues to place its own interests ahead of selfless patriots who serve their country. . . . Zill de Granados and Rey have uncovered decisive evidence about the nature of the attacks and who was behind them. I won’t spoil the detective story here. It’s too good—and important—to rush. . . . The Havana Syndrome should be read by every American who respects or doubts the power and veracity of ‘shoe leather’ journalism. Dive into these pages, not just for the provocative writing and runaway narrative; appreciate, also, how our beloved America is defended and preserved by the very best in journalism as pursued by Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados.”—Scott Pelley, former 60 Minutes correspondent
“A blistering exposé of a frightening technology—and the equally frightening silence shrouding it.”—Kirkus Reviews
“This riveting exposé not only discloses an appalling failure of our government to tell the truth and protect us, it also dramatically affirms the necessity of the free press.”—Booklist, starred review
