Book Review: Crying Wolf by Doug Joseph
Doug Joseph’s Crying Wolf is a gripping sci-fi thriller that blends suspense, space drama, and psychological intrigue into a high-stakes rescue mission gone awry. When Captain Remy Eskar and his crew respond to a mysterious distress signal in the asteroid belt, they don’t expect to find only one survivor—or a story so incredible it strains the boundaries of truth.
Major Dillon “Deke” Temkin, the rescued operative, spins a tale that raises more questions than answers. As Eskar probes deeper, navigating a labyrinth of sealed records and half-truths, readers are pulled into a tense game of cat and mouse. Is Deke a hero of a covert mission gone wrong, or a manipulator concealing a far darker reality?
Joseph excels at building suspense through layers of mistrust and hidden agendas, skillfully developing a cast of characters caught between duty and doubt. The confined setting of space adds a claustrophobic edge to the narrative, echoing the paranoia and tension that drive the story forward.
Crying Wolf delivers a smart, fast-paced mystery that fans of space operas and military sci-fi will devour. It’s a tale of loyalty, deception, and the dangerous cost of secrets—where the truth could mean salvation or destruction.
