Bloody Sunday

Dewey Andreas Series, Book 8

By: Ben Coes

Narrated by: Ari Fliakos

"The narration raises an excellent thriller to a must-listen, even for those new to the series." (AudioFile Magazine)

Bloody Sunday is the latest in Ben Coes' New York Times and USA Today best-selling Dewey Andreas series.

North Korea, increasingly isolated from most of the rest of the world, is led by an absolute dictator and a madman with a major goal - he's determined to launch a nuclear attack on the United States. While they have built and continue to successfully test nuclear bombs, North Korea has yet to develop a ballistic missile with the range necessary to attack America. But their missiles are improving, reaching a point where the US absolutely must respond.

What the US doesn't know is that North Korea has made a deal with Iran. In exchange for effective missiles from Iran, they will trade nuclear triggers and fissionable material. An exchange, if it goes through, that will create two new nuclear powers, both with dangerous plans.

Dewey Andreas, still reeling from recent revelations about his own past, is ready to retire from the CIA. But he's the only available agent with the skills to carry out the CIA's plan to stop North Korea. The plan is to inject a singular designer poison into the head of the North Korean military and in exchange for the nuclear plans provide him with the one existing dose of the antidote. But it goes awry when Dewey manages to inject a small amount of the poison into himself. Now, to survive, Dewey must get into North Korea and access the antidote and, while there, thwart the nuclear ambitions of both North Korea and Iran. And he has less than 24 hours to do so - in the latest audiobook thriller from Ben Coes.

Critic reviews

"Ben Coes' Bloody Sunday is a propulsive [listen] with enough plot hooks, twists, and action to fill five thrillers. Dewey Andreas finds himself in a race against the clock with impossibly high stakes on multiple geopolitical and personal levels, while the White House deals with an imminent nuclear attack from North Korea.... Fans of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Tom Clancy will tear through Bloody Sunday and close the book counting the days till Dewey’s next adventure." (Mark Greaney, New York Times best-selling author of Agent in Place)

"Wildly entertaining...Coes takes a terrifyingly plausible scenario - an Iran-North Korea deal that puts the U.S. in the crosshairs - and ratchets up the suspense with a countdown to annihilation. Dewey Andreas is the hero these times demand, and Bloody Sunday is a heart-stopping thrill ride." (Joseph Finder, New York Times best-selling author of Suspicion and The Switch)

"A simple premise drives bestseller Coes’s excellent eighth thriller featuring indomitable CIA agent Dewey Andreas.... It’s a complicated mission, and in the end only Dewey has the skills, courage, and sheer badass tenacity to pull it off. A ticking clock ratchets up the tension in the best entry in the series so far." (Publishers Weekly)

fight scenes too exaggerated to be believable.

plot is good spend more time developing it rather bnb than long e xaggersted fight senerios.

Dewey is killer !

Excellent series Dewey Andreas is the perfect conflicted hero Ben Coes always delivers great stories .

Good despite!

The narrator could not have listened to any of the previous books.
He mispronounced many of the names.
Very difficult to listen to. Very disappointing.
Good story.

Best Book In The Series

Wow! Just when you think all the odds are against Dewy he pulls a hat trick.

Have read the whole Series

Having stated the above, I can easily expound that in my opinion... this is the best of the series and I have enjoyed them all. I read/ listen to two or three books a week. As a steel and glass artist a great deal of my work allows me the pleasure of indulging in escapism from the mundane prep work. This book is at the top of the list. Looking forward to the next in the series, but will continue to entertain myself with others in the same vein . Will grab the next volume the moment it is released. Highly recommend .

Another entertaining Dewey Andreas book.

These books have good action and are an entertaining listen. This particular book has some interesting action dealing with unstable N Korea.

Captivating story, a little far fetched at times

most definitely enjoyed the story! However, the main character does indeed appear to be able to do things that are certainly superhuman.

Dewey Does It

Good story, intense, Dewey at his best. Love that he got a dog for saving the free world. Dellenbaugh And Calabrese are stronger and better leaders than ever.

Achtung Baby!

Bloody Sunday accomplished a feat writers love to take but rarely pull off, especially in this genre: piecing together the perfect mix of reality and fiction. Dewey Andreas fans will be bloody pleased indeed. Masterfully written and narrated. Bravo.

Another winner for Dewey!

I have listened to all the books and Ben Coes makes each book better. I was worried because it was another different narrator. Peter Hermann read the first 6 books and he was Dewey to me. I listened to the 7th book with Jay Snyder and as much as I love him as the Gray Man, he was NOT Dewey Andreas to me. But Ari Fliakos managed to make Dewey a great personality again. He read all the other characters well, and so I am happy again with my Dewey books. Please keep some continuity by keeping Ari if we can’t have Peter. Great, taut, heart racing plot! Can’t wait for the next one!
