Publisher's summary

With time running out to stop the nuclear destruction of Tel Aviv, Dewey Andreas must defeat his most fearsome opponent yet.

Off a quiet street in Brooklyn, New York, Israeli Special Forces commander Kohl Meir is captured by operatives of the Iranian secret service, who smuggle Meir back to Iran, where he is imprisoned, tortured, and prepared for a show trial. What they don’t know is that Meir was in New York to recruit Dewey Andreas for a secret operation.

Meir had been tipped off that Iran had finally succeeded in building their first nuclear weapon, one they were planning to use to attack Israel. His source was a high-level Iranian government official and his proof was a photo of the bomb itself. Dewey Andreas, a former Army Ranger and Delta, owes his life to Meir and his team of Israeli commandos. Now, to repay his debt, Dewey has to attempt the impossible - to both rescue Meir from one of the world’s most secure prisons and to find and eliminate Iran’s nuclear bomb before it’s deployed - all without the help or sanction of Israel or America (at the near certain risk of detection by Iran).

Unfortunately, Dewey’s first moves have caught the attention of Abu Paria, the brutal and brilliant head of VEVAK, the Iranian secret service. Now Dewey has to face off against, outwit, and outfight an opponent with equal cunning, skill, and determination, with the fate of millions hanging in the balance.

Excellent story

Very good read! Story line was completely believable. Hopefully we have real operatives like Dewey and Rob in real life!

I really enjoyed this one.

After listening to this third Dewey Andreas book I am definitely hooked. The story was great and the narration was fantastic.

Narrator is terrible

Monotone and halting. Hard to get through it. Something akin to caveman grunting. Good story. Awful performance.

amazing

just keep on reading and catch up with me. love the superman hero against the world.

Argh

I REALLY wanted to listen to this book & keep up with the series, but the narrator sounds like he’s falling asleep…. Which made me almost fall asleep. And I couldn’t ever tell who was speaking because it all had the exact same monotonous tone. Really disappointing. I made it through about three chapters before I gave up. Returning the book. It would be awesome if they re-released these few books with a narrator who’s awake. Shame.

Not Quite as Solid as First Two Books..

but still well worth the credit. Moves at a fast pace from the beginning.

Incredible

If you could sum up The Last Refuge in three words, what would they be?

Exciting, exciting, exciting

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Absolutely. In his distinctive, subdued style, Dewey is pure energy ready to strike.

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

Peter is back, and he is perfect for this series. Check out Private if you like Peter.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Hold on for the ride!

Any additional comments?

No

COULD NOT BE BETTER!!!!!!

Excellent book!!! Great characters who bleed real blood and who are not perfect. Narrator is awesome!!

It Rolls, Building Momentum!!

The series gets better and better. The first book was good, but I still had my doubts. The 2nd and this book hooked me.

Dewey Andreas never misses

Good story however it would be nice to see Andreas miss a shot and not Center punch every terrorist dead center in the four head or directly in the heart

Great narrator and his ability to use various excellence to help you stay engaged in the story
