Publisher's summary

In Ben Coes' latest, Eye for an Eye, Dewey Andreas faces the toughest odds of his life as one of China's most powerful men has decided to do whatever he must to take down Dewey—and inflicts a horrifying loss.

When Dewey uncovers the identity of a mole embedded at a high level in Israel's Mossad, it triggers a larger, more dangerous plot. The mole was the most important asset of Chinese Intelligence, and Fao Bhang, head of China's Ministry of State Security (MSS), responds to the discovery and brutal elimination of the mole, by immediately placing a kill order on the man responsible—Dewey Andreas.

Dewey is tracked to Argentina, where he is on vacation with his fiancée, Jessica Tanzer, a U.S. National Security Advisor. A top-level kill team is sent in quickly and quietly, but their attack fails to take out Dewey. The collateral damage, however, is both horrifying and deeply personal. With nothing left to lose, Andreas is determined to have his revenge. Once he learns who is probably behind the attack—and why they are after him—Dewey goes rogue, using all of his assets and skills to launch a counterattack. Andreas must now face the full weight and might of the MSS, Chinese Intelligence, and the formidable Fao Bhang, if he's to achieve his one last goal: revenge on a biblical scale, no matter the odds or the armies that he will have to fight his way through. Andreas—former Army Ranger and Delta—is a man of great skills and cunning. His opponent, Fao Bhang, is ruthless, determined, and with no limit to the assets at his disposal.

In this conflict, there are only two possible outcomes. And only one Dewey Andreas.

Incredible

I realize this isn’t a new publication, but it really could be ripped from the headlines!!

Another hard to "put down" adventure.

Very talented to keep a great fictional hero being involved in new ever changing environments and missions. FUN suspense.

Another One!

This one’s probably the best of the first three in the series! On to the next!

Truly one of the best books I have read in a while

I have to say I had just listened to 2 books from my favorite authors and were slightly disappointed with them. So when I downloaded this I had low expectations. This was a GREAT book for engaging, I laughed out loud when the hockey scene played out. This book really kept me n the edge of my seat and the narrator did a fantastic job of adding inflection and "grit" to his voice of the main character to help you really feel the emotion of the story. I highly recommend this one!!!!

Possibly the best thriller I’ve read to date

The story, action and plot just kept getting better and better. A constant wave of emotions from sadness to anger to revenge then back to sadness while rejoicing for the outcome at the end.

always good with andreas

just like all the other ones I've read very good. weather this is the first or fifteenth you have read, it will be worth your time

exciting Listen

great plot line with some good twists and an emotional ride. interesting to the very end.

BUY IT! YOU WON'T FORGET IT!

Where does Eye for an Eye rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Considering I've read ALOT of books- a thousand plus- I'd say top 20.

What did you like best about this story?

What's not to love? Dewey Andreas, the fearless hero of this book, is like a drug!

Let me begin by saying that I am a huge fan of military/suspense/espionage/thrillers. Some of my favorite characters are Mitch Rapp, John Wells, Jack Reacher and Court Gentry. If you like these characters too, then you'll LOVE Dewey Andreas.

I like SO many things about this story. Mostly, I like that it exists! It is the fourth installment to an AWESOME series that I don't want to end any time soon. The character development, the intricate plot, the steady pace, and the high-speed action sequences that leave your heart thudding; they are so well written that when I remember scenes from the book they feel like scenes from a movie.

Next, at the end of the third book I was hoping that I'd get to read more about one of the characters, Kohl Mier; his story felt incomplete. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover that he was given some closure in Eye for an a Eye.

Lastly, I like how emotionally stimulating this book is. Yes, it is primarily an action novel, but it has some moments that will definitely pull your heart strings. It needs those moments for balance because some of the content in this book is pretty heavy-especially if you've read the entire series.

Have you listened to any of Peter Hermann’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. Peter Hermann is the narrator for two other books in this series. I have not heard any narrations of any other books to compare, but I'll say this - Peter Hermann is fantastic! He has a great tone to his voice, his accents are spot on and he acts out each scene with expert dramatization.

Any additional comments?

This book is great by itself. But if you really want to make it better you should start with the first book in the series. You won't be disappointed. After I started with the first book I couldn't stop listening and I just plowed straight through to the third one. Luckily there wasn't a long wait for the fourth book to be released. This was money well spent.

very enjoyable

This is the fourth series of this genre of book I've listened to. While the author has made a few timeline errors and and in this book a weapons error Andreas is starting to grow on me and I enjoyed this one the most. I do think this reader is by far the most talented of any I've heard so far. On to the next one.

Heart pounding

Best Coes yet! Heart wrenching leads to heart pounding as Coes continues to keep me up for hours listening to another Dewey masterpiece! Hermann’s narration is superb! But damn it, why does Jess have to leave us so soon?
