“Years of political turmoil, corruption and the ascendance of a deadly gang coalition are suffocating Haiti’s capital city. The US and international community have repeatedly tried and failed to help bring order. Now, the remnants of Haiti’s government have rolled the dice with a very different option: a US private security tycoon.”

These are the words of Nick Paton Walsh, CNN’s Chief International Security Correspondent, who has just released a groundbreaking report going inside the secretive operation taking on Haiti’s gangs.

Today David McCloskey is joined by Nick to dig into his reporting about how the murky world of private security has become a new lifeline for failing states who can’t help themselves.

In the last weeks, we’ve had dire warnings from governments and intelligence agencies across the world, warning of a cyber apocalypse and a global internet meltdown.

At the same time, the British government has told people to start storing 72 hours of supplies and the Pentagon in the US has told its bases they need to survive for 90s days without outside support.

So this week, David and Gordon are asking: are we doomed and should we start prepping?

To coincide with the release of David's latest novel, London, we have the book’s first two chapters in audiobook form for you to enjoy.

Artemis Procter returns in David McCloskey’s electrifying new spy thriller, where London has devolved into a covert battleground between British and American intelligence services.

London Station by David McCloskey, is OUT NOW in the US and out next week in the UK.

Pre-order a signed edition ⁠⁠via this link.⁠

-------------------

A new US administration has taken office, installing a brash and unconventional CIA director skeptical of old alliances and determined to disrupt the Agency. When the axe falls on the chief of London Station, the agency veteran decides to spy for the Brits―a betrayal uncovered by his replacement, Artemis Aphrodite Procter. Caught between a turncoat spymaster and a ruthless new boss back at Langley, Procter must now navigate a tense environment as old friends become adversaries and no one knows whom to trust.

Adding to the chaos is a new breed of private intelligence agency: a secretive and powerful company run by a reclusive billionaire with a very different agenda than the two old allies who are suddenly at each other’s throats.

When assets begin dying, Procter and her team in London Station must find out who is leaking the sources’ identities―and why―before both agencies go blind. Soon they will have to decide whether loyalty to the Mission means disobeying the Agency they serve. Immersing readers in the technological revolution upending intelligence tradecraft, London Station explores the changing nature of the spy business and what happens when politics threaten to destroy the special relationship between America and Britain.
