Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: From the #1 New York Timesâ bestselling author comes another remarkable novel of espionage todayâ and right around the corner.
Alex Berensonâs The Faithful Spy was declared âone of the best spy stories ever toldâ (The Wall Street Journal), and The Ghost War âmesmerizing . . . an extraordinary achievement. Wells is a complex blend of smarts, scars, cynicism and wile. And the bookâs imaginings seem not so much âripped from the headlinesâ as eerily destined to be set in type for tomorrowâsâ (The News & Observer). Berensonâs third novel, however, is his most masterful yet.
It isnât easy to steal warheads from the heart of Russiaâs nuclear complex in Mayak. It requires a great deal of money, coordination, ingenuity, and sleight-of-hand, and just a touch of luck. But if youâre determined enough, anything is possible.
Itâs been a rough few years for CIA agent John Wells. The undercover work in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the attack on the United States, the Chinese plot that could have led to war. Wells is exhausted, and his nights filled with disturbing dreams. But he knows he has no time for that. He has made many enemies, and the world wonât stay quiet for long.
Nevertheless, Wells is not prepared for what is about to happen. He and his colleagueâand fiancéeâJennifer Exley are driving into work when traffic comes to a standstill, due to accidents on both bridges into Washington. A pretty big coincidence, he thinks, beginning to get a bad feelingâa feeling that only gets worse when he spots the red motorcycle zooming up between cars toward him. Before the day is over, several people will be dead or severely injured, Exley among them, and Wells will be a man possessed.
The attackers are Russian, and it is to Russia that Wells must follow the trail. He finds what heâs looking forâbut also a great deal more. A plan of almost unimaginable consequences is in motion, and Wells has no idea if he has discovered it in time. The last few years have been rough indeed, but the next few weeks will be much, much worse.
Real-world threats, authentic details, a scenario as dramatic as it is chillingly plausible, Alex Berensonâs new novel is another âtimely reminder of the extremely precarious way we live nowâ (The Washington Post).
