Rainy Street Stories is a composition of powerful reflections on
today's espionage, terrorism, and secret wars. These stories,
essays, and poems by John Davis, himself a retired intelligence
officer, take place from Europe, to Asia, and back to the Americas.
He lived overseas for many years, where he served as a soldier,
civil servant, and gifted linguist. Davis writes with a thoughtful,
compassionate, and fair assessment of his lifetime lived during
wars and conflicts which were his generation's legacy from World
War II. He recounts mysterious, sometimes strangely suggestive,
even curiously puzzling tales. Each will cause the reader to think.
Davis draws from actual encounters in unusual circumstances, in
conversations at utterly unexpected times, and chance meetings,
historical site visits, or his readings to illustrate his
reflections. Moreover, he is influenced by carefully listening to
others who experienced history, from careful study of human nature,
observation of international events, but also by remaining open to
surprises, the better to distill the essence of a hidden truth.
Those people about whom he speculates, events he interprets,
motives he muses about, or wonders he reveals will remain with you
for a long time. These are not writings to be read in a night, but
to be reflected upon over the coming years.
