Publisher's summary

Number one New York Times best-selling author Newt Gingrich returns with this rollicking tale of high-stakes international intrigue - the first audiobook in a contemporary series filled with adventure, betrayal, and politics that captures the tensions and divides of America and the world today.

Valerie Mayberry comes from the kind of wealthy family that would be royalty in any other country. Obsessive and compulsive, she’s also the FBI’s counterintelligence expert on domestic terrorism.

Brett Garrett is a dishonorably discharged ex-Navy SEAL coming off a secret opioid addiction. A brusque, fiercely independent operative who refuses to play by the rules, the seasoned pro is now a gun for hire working as a security contractor in Eastern Europe.

When a high-ranking Kremlin official with knowledge of a plan to attack the US must be smuggled out under the nose of a kleptocratic Putin-like Russian president and a ruthless general, Mayberry and Garret are thrown together to exfiltrate him and preempt a deadly poisonous strike.

As these unlikely partners work to protect their human asset, their mission is threatened by domestic politics: leftist protests, Congressional infighting, and a culture riven by hatred.

Collusion raises many of the most significant issues facing America in real life today. Is Russia our ally or our enemy? Are American leftist activists susceptible to influence from aboard? How far will our enemies go to disrupt our politics and weaken the nation? Can we trust the media to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys?

Newt Gingrich and Pete Earley have entertained and educated people with three previous novels of Washington scandal and foreign interference. From its explosive opening through several twists and turns to its heart-stopping end, Collusion is their most timely and powerful novel yet.

A novel of the times we're living in

Nicely written. Interesting story. Like many books, it starts out a little slow, but keep reading the story will grow on you.

Michelle

Great book. If you like Mitch Rapp you’ll really like this book. Very credible and still a little bit scary

Awesome Narration

Enjoyed the story. A different type of story about the Holocaust. However, I didn’t care for the ending.

I Hate it...When Good Books Are Over

Wonderful, exciting, believable and kept me engaged from beginning to the VERY violent and satisfying end.

caution.. you can't put this book down.

WOW this is a GREAT STORY. the writing and reading held my attention allowing me see the story as it unfolded.

a good book

i loved the book felt the ending was okay no depth unless a new
one.

Extremely Well Done Novel.

It has a perfect amount of both military tactics and political aspects. I would say it has a refreshing touch of neither Liberal nor Conservative ideas in, which in my opinion truly gives it a different vibe then other similar books.

cool story

really enjoyed this book! Great story. kept me glued to the book from start to finish.

Antifa...Couldn't Be More Relevant

I spoke too soon. Instead of giving it a bit of time, I jumped the gun and wrote a harsh review without letting this come together. I always enjoy Newt Gingrich and his political commentary, so I had high hopes for this book. Starting out, it's slow and the narration is a bit rocky. But at the two and a half hour point, right at part II, it heats up like a blow torch. Today, in early June 2020, the world on every one's mind is Antifa. Antifa is dominating the news at every turn. This book centers around this leftist organization and terrorism. So, don't jump the gun as I did. Let it build to this point, and let the narrator work out the kinks. It's worth it. This book is proof that you can't judge a book by part one.

Edge of your seat

This spy/adventure story was exciting front to back. Very realistic situations no doubt drawn from Newt's personal experiences in Congress. I just bought the next in the series and can't wait to listen to it!
