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.

Dewey is the real deal!

Only one word that describes this series ‘Awesome”. Thank you Ben Coes for creating Dewey Andreas.

Great story

Great story and characters! Nice follow up to book one. I am looking forward to book 3.

Awesome

I can see why Vince Flynn and others say Cole is a new author to watch. This is one of the best action/espionage books I've read in a long time. It is non stop action and yet not like a video game. It is believable,scary and very exciting all at the same time. I'm really looking forward to reading anything else that Cole writes in the series!! If you like Ludlum, Flynn and other books like them, you will absolutely love this one! Don't miss it!!!!

Another Exciting Adventure!

Any additional comments?

In Coup d'Etat, Ben Coes has written another fast-paced, exciting adventure for Dewey Andreas, the protagonist first introduced in Power Down. Although it is not a necessity to listen to Power Down first, you will get a lot more out of Coup d'Etat if you start from the beginning. David de Vries gives a fantastic performance making the character's easy to identify and follow throughout the story. If you enjoy Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, David Hagberg, Mark Greaney, you will quicly get caught up in Coup d'Etat.

Great book, excellent series

This is the 2nd book in the Dewey Andreas series and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. I also though that David de Vries did an excellent job with the narration. I enjoyed his pace and voices. Overall a great read and will be continuing the series.

excellent, can't wait to listen to the next one.

Dewey is a force if nature. narration was brilliant, good plot and ending. really enjoyed it.

Excellent Story

Where does Coup d'Etat rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very good. It was not up to Flynn or Thor standards but I enjoyed the story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Coup d'Etat?

When Dewey kills the terrorist on the plane.

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

Excellent ability to alter his voice for characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. It was good but took some time getting into it.

Any additional comments?

The time frames for the Coup were unrealistic and could not be carried out in real life.

Great story!

my only complaint, and this may be petty, is that I became distracted by the performer's sucking in breaths that was quite loud. I wonder if I just hadn't noticed it the 200 audible books before, but the next book's author hasn't done that.

Great listening. Better than the first in the series

Looking forward to the next installment
In the series. Dewey Andreas is a great character

Great Ride

Have you listened to any of David de Vries’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

David's Pakastani and Indian accents are perfect.

Any additional comments?

From time to time, Ben, or his editors, need to do some fact checking, For example, C-130s have aluminum not "steel" wings, and the Eurocopter Panther has a pair of turbine engines running jet fuel not "gas."
