Publisher's summary

When a fragile peace breaks down and promptly devolves into a rapidly escalating shooting war between Pakistan and India, the United States is forced to intervene. With only hours remaining before the conflict reaches a deadly point of no return, the White House must find a way to shut it down immediately - or risk the likelihood of a new global war.

A radical cleric has become the democratically elected president of Pakistan and uses a brutal incident in the Kashmir region as an opportunity to ignite war with India. The highly lethal conventional war spins out of control when Pakistan initiates a nuclear attack. India is on the verge of launching their own nuclear response, one that will have unimaginably disastrous results for both the United States and the world at large.

With only one chance to head this off, the president of the United States sends in his best people to do whatever it takes to restore the fragile peace to the region. With the clock ticking and Pakistan in the hands of a religious radical willing to do anything to destroy India, there remains only one viable option: to execute a coup d’état in Pakistan.

There is only one man with the skills and experience to infiltrate the live war theater and remove the Pakistani president from power. Only one man the White House can trust. His name: Dewey Andreas. Now they have to find him before time runs out.

From the author of the critically acclaimed thriller Power Down comes the latest ripped-from-the-headlines novel featuring his indelible and indomitable protagonist, the unforgettable Dewey Andreas.

good everything

everything you would expect from this series...action, suspense, surprises and one bad ass dude. Worth it.

All American kick ass & take names story!

Dewey Andreas is the key to any problem that needs a Super Man to save the day!

Why isn't Jessica Irish in the second book?

Story was fast and enjoyable. Kept waiting for the reader to remember Jessica is Irish.

Narrator got it wrong...

Great story, but this narrator is not my favorite. very tough to get through once Peter Herrmann brought the characters to life in the first book. This narrator tried, but his accents were off and he gave the Irish accent to the wrong person... Come on! Story was grea though.

It's almost too close to the truth

Wow, Mr. Coes really knows how to scare you. It is very obvious this author does his research. The reason I gave four stars instead of five is because of the amount of info jammed into this book. Don't get me wrong this book gave me an insight to the Pakistan/Israel conflict I was unaware of. The issue is sometimes it drags the book into a slower speed and I lose some of my interest. The hero, Dewey, is once again faced with an impossible task, kill the Pakistani leader. He does his work in such a way you know he's no James Bond. He makes mistakes and it shows he's human. His love interest , Jessica, is back. In the first audible book she had a Irish accent. Honestly, it was annoying. In the version the accent is gone. I would highly recommend this book but only to readers that like a history lesson thrown in. There's a lot of action but it can get slow in sections.

Gotta Love Dewey

Coes is at his best again. A high octane page turner that keeps you riveted.

Ben Coes Writes Another Winner

Loved this book! Unexpected plot with twists and turns. Expect the unexpected, as with all Coes books. I highly recommend this book

Dewey kills some more!

Dont mess with Dewey Andreas! You might think you can kill him, but you cant! The bad guys take it on the chin again as Dewey engages in another fast paced, thrilling, kill all adventure while India and Pakistan teeter on the brink of all out war. Not to mention their allies, China and the US poised to back them up with their nuclear arsenals. Dewey is trying to live a quiet existence in Australia but the Fortunas drag him back in.

I really enjoyed this book, and the previous book Power Down. The action is fast and furious and the story is very entertaining. The performance is quite good and matches well with the characters

Cant wait to get the third book in this series

Great Story

Filled with highs and lows of excitement! Highly recommend and can't wait for next one
