The latest thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Twelve Days, Alex Berenson.
John Wells has just barely managed to stop an operation designed to drive the United States and Iran into war, but the instigator himself disappeared behind an impenetrable war of security. Now it’s time for him to pay, and Wells has made it his personal mission. There are plenty of crosscurrents at work, though. The White House doesn’t want anybody stirring the pot; his old CIA bosses have their own agendas; other countries are starting to sniff around, sensing something unusual. It is when Russia and China enter the mix, however, that the whole affair is set to combust. With alarming speed, Wells is once again on his own . . . and the wolves are closing in.
A view into the world of gambling in Macao, Reno and Los Angeles. Good story teller. Lots of twisted plotting! Great descriptions of geography. The Americans, the Chinese, the Russians, the Israelis, their spy agencies, military, and civilians involved. Yet the plot is pretty easy to follow. It’s a lot of book, it links to prior books with foreshadowing of future books. Very competent page turner with heroes and villains who come across as whole people in conflicts and sometimes words.
another killer read I hate Alex Berenson. There I said it. No, not because he writes junk-He doesn’t he’s brilliant. I hate him because as soon as one John Wells novel is finished, I’m waiting with bated breath for the next step of the journey. Every time I go on Amazon, I’m looking for the next book to show up in the cue. It is an awful torture that he puts me through. For that I thank him.
Part two of “Twelve Days”–Wells takes care of business Alex Berenson’s “The Wolves” (Putman and Sons 2016) is IMO the best yet in the John Wells’ series. It’s fast moving, clever, with a bias for meaningful action driven by John Wells. This story is the sequel to the unfinished trauma/drama started in ‘Twelve Days’ where Wells barely stops a world war, but doesn’t capture the man responsible. Any John Wells fan knew he wouldn’t be satisfied with averting global disaster if the perpetrator remained free. Wells strikes a deal with America’s…
