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.

Brilliant

Very Intelligent plot. Excellent narration with accents. Strange use of names though for Pakistanis officials.

Dewey Andreas Saves the Day ... Again!

I enjoyed Power Down by the same author so decided to get this one as well. No regrets. The same semi super-hero main character (Dewey Andreas) from Power Down is in Coup D'Etat and once again he takes us on a wild ride that kept me listening at all hours. The plotline is excellent, characters are perfect for the plot and the pace is nice and fast, just how I most enjoy listening. Definitely recommend for thriller lovers. Plenty of action!

Maybe even better than the first one!

Great follow up to the first book, READ THE FIRST BOOK FIRST. One NOTE TO THE AUTHOR, guns do NOT have NOZZLES!! I suspect this is an editorial mess up, they have barrels, and muzzles but NOT nozzles. The editor uses this word exclusivley throught both Andreas books and its drivin me NUTSO! Of course our hero kills all the bad guys and sits and stews about the injustice of the world and woe is me crap. Please, stop with the tortured warrior stuff, nobobdy buys it and if they hated it so much, THEY'D QUIT!

Great Book! I Am Officially Now Hooked on series

This was a very entertaining book. A real page turner
I am not hooked on the series and off to get book #3

Hate to compare, but it really reminds me of Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn - which I love. If you Love those, you will really enjoy these.

Throw political correctness out of the window,
Cheer on American Patriotism and Heroism.... and you have Dewey Andreas.

Highly Recommend. but start with book 1

OH MY!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!

What a great book. This one was just as good as the first book. I love a great espionage action packed book.

Dewey Andreas is an awesome character! He is smart, strong, can kick some butt and get things done!

There is always something going on and things happening. Bad guys, terrorists, plots, schemes and take downs.

I highly recommend this series it is great so far.

As for the narration, it was good. I did miss Peter Hermann from the first book but David de Vries did a good job too.

Outstanding book!

Really great story, awesome characters and so realistic! Exciting all the way thru!
I needed a good book like this! Highly recommend this book.

Another Great Book

What did you like best about this story?

Dewey Andreas is the absolute best character in this genre!
There is lots of action, twists & turns & some unexpected events
Dewey is once again rugged, ruthless, determined & a killer if need be.
He is ruthlessly pursued by his old enemy but ultimately turns the tables.
Don't have to think much with this book . Just sit back ,listen & enjoy.

What about David de Vries’s performance did you like?

Another excellent performance with one exception. Dewey's girlfriend & now the National Security Advisor has lost her slight Irish Accent which I missed

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Buy this book. You will be entertained!

Excellent series

I have been looking for a great series .... I have found it with Ben Coes! I can't wait for the next book!!!

A Winner

This installment was a good improvement over the last installment which was good, but not up to this one. A lot of action, fast paced, good characters and character development and interesting narration. I found myself not wanting to shut it off. Well done!

Facts Matter

Hey. Overall I’m enjoy the series. But the lack of research and details in mind numbing. WTF is a nozzle of a rifle, it’s a Frickin’ muzzle! Throwing two men over your shoulders and run with them…. Geez! Shayetet 13 is not staffed just with Majors and Lieutenant Colonels. Drives me crazy with unrealistic equipment and tactics. Anyway I’m still listening.
